Direct printing on wood means applying ink or other printing materials directly on the wood’s surface. This is referred to as the ‘direct wood printing’ method because there is no transfer involved to the wood and is therefore different from other forms of printing. To print images or text onto wood, polemic inkjet printers that use the specialized ink for wood can be utilized. This also includes the very popular UV curable inks that are known to bond strongly with the wood and dry quickly because they undergo a chemical reaction when exposed to UV light, resulting in a long-lasting coat. Some printers can also be used such as laser printers but only in cases with simple text and graphic design. It is important that the surface of the wood is adequately prepared such as sanding and priming the surface, as this ensures that ink will stick properly. Direct printing on wood is applied in the production of wooden indications, furniture manufacturing, and in custom made wooden items with prints.
