Flatbed Printing
Flatbed printing is a modern digital printing process that prints directly onto flat materials using UV-curable inks. A preview print is a sample print created before the final production run to verify colors, design placement, image quality, and alignment. It helps identify any errors early, reducing material waste and ensuring the final product meets customer expectations.
