DIRECT PRINTING OR HAND-APPLIED TRANSFER
You don’t need to choose the process yourself. Send photos of the item and the print area. We’ll check access, surface finish, and how the finished piece will be used.
Our Roland MO-240 flatbed prints full-color artwork and white ink directly onto your item. White ink helps artwork stay visible on dark or clear materials.
These are machine limits, not a guarantee of fit. We also need to hold the item securely, keep raised details clear of the print head, and check that ink adheres to the surface.
When an item cannot fit safely or a raised detail could hit the print head, we can print the graphic as a UV DTF transfer and hand-place it on an approved surface.
This is a finished-item service. We don’t sell standalone transfer rolls.
We still check the application area, coating, and intended use. A transfer must adhere properly to work for your item.
UV PRINTING PRICING
UV pricing has two parts: a setup fee and a price for each printed piece. Your item, print size, quantity, complexity, and deadline determine the final quote. We don’t charge an hourly UV printing rate.
STANDARD SETUP
$250
per job, plus production
We may lower the setup fee if we can reuse an existing jig or a proven setup from a similar project. A jig is a holder that keeps the item in position while we print.
Confirmed in your written quote.These are production estimates, not fixed rates or total job prices. We assess size using both the object and print area. Setup is separate; quantity and complexity can change the range.
Ordering a small batch? Short runs are welcome. At PrintAWorld, smaller UV-printing orders typically have a higher production cost per piece because each batch requires dedicated machine time and handling. The setup fee is separate and is also spread across fewer items. Quantity can affect both parts of the price; a lower production rate is not automatic at a particular order size.
Plan your UV printing budgetItem and print dimensions, quantity, additional sides or artwork versions, surface preparation, white ink, testing, fixtures, handling, and deadline. Rush pricing and availability are confirmed after review.
Your quote = setup + per-piece production.
Shipping and any rush or project-specific work are confirmed separately.

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Have a question about your particular object?
Talk to the studioUV printing applies ink to a compatible surface and cures it with ultraviolet light during printing. PrintAWorld uses a Roland MO-240 flatbed printer for direct-to-object CMYK and white-ink printing. For approved objects that cannot safely fit or clear the print head, we can produce and hand-apply UV DTF transfers.
Most new UV printing jobs have a standard $250 setup fee, plus production. Typical production ranges are $10–$25 each for small items, $45–$65 each for medium items, and $100 or more each for large items. These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes: item size, print size, quantity, artwork variations, surface, placement, handling, complexity, and deadline can change the price. We may lower the setup fee when we can reuse an existing jig or a proven setup from a substantially similar project. Rush work is quoted after we review capacity and the required in-hand date.
Yes, after review. Send item photos, dimensions, material or coating information, quantity, artwork, print placement, and your deadline. We may request spare pieces for testing. Wait for project approval and receiving instructions before shipping or dropping off anything.
Vector PDF, AI, EPS, or SVG is preferred for logos and line art. High-resolution PNG, TIFF, or PSD can work for photographs. Include the finished print size and placement, and identify any white-ink or transparent areas. You can start with photos and send final artwork later.
We can review both. Send artwork for each side or design, its placement, and the quantity for each version. Extra print positions, artwork changes, and handling can affect setup and per-piece pricing. We’ll confirm what is possible for your item in the quote.
Typical production takes 2–3 weeks after artwork approval and receipt of your items. Testing, proof changes, and shipping can add time. Rush work depends on the item, complexity, and available capacity, and affects pricing. Send the date you need the finished items in hand so we can confirm the schedule.
Durability depends on the material, coating, preparation, ink adhesion, and how the item will be used. Tell us about rubbing, cleaning products, moisture, flexing, or outdoor exposure. Testing may be needed; neither direct UV printing nor UV DTF comes with a universal lifespan guarantee.
No. Our UV DTF service includes producing and hand-applying the transfer to approved items. We use it when an object’s size or geometry makes direct printing unsuitable, including features that could contact the print head.
Approved projects can use appointment-based pickup and drop-off at 616 Berriman Street in Brooklyn, or shipping within the United States. Clients pay for shipping both ways, separately from printing. Wait for receiving instructions before sending items. We do not currently offer dropshipping.
