Hybrid UV Inks on Soft and Rigid Substrates, Material by Material: Which Ink Finish, Primer, Printer and Curing Kit for Each Job
This page started as a September 2023 labelpapers.co.za post, "The Ultimate Solution for Specialist Large-Format Printing: Premium Hybrid UV Inks". The post said AM.CO.ZA's hybrid UV inks print on "both soft and rigid substrates", cure instantly, resist fading, scratching and weathering, and are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This deepened version turns that claim into a practical guide: for each kind of material you might want to print, which UV ink finish to use, whether the surface needs a primer, which kind of AM.CO.ZA printer can carry it, and when to add white or varnish. Every product is linked, and the original post is kept at the bottom.
Other pages cover other angles: every UV ink, primer, lamp and part on the uvinks.co.za site page, the original product page on Premium Hybrid UV Inks, switching an existing printer over on converting a printer to hybrid UV ink, and keeping ink healthy on UV ink storage, maintenance and cleaning and safety.
Facts come from the AM.CO.ZA product data behind buythis.co.za (product JSON on am.im; dump dated up to 2026-10-20) and from AM.CO.ZA's YouTube videos, each named where it is used. Prices change, so check the current price on each linked Buythis page. Stock is not shown here.
Quick answer
- Pick the ink finish by what happens to the print after it leaves the printer. Boards, panels, signs and hard objects that stay flat take the FlexiFlow glossy and hard-finish inks, such as F2-UV/COMBO/VARNISH. Media that will be rolled, bent, stretched or heat-pressed onto fabric take the FlexiFlow flexible soft-finish inks, such as F-UV/FLEXI/CMYKWV.
- Pick the printer by how the material moves. Roll media goes on a roll-to-roll UV printer, boards up to about 5 mm go on a hybrid printer with a flatbed table, and heavy, fragile, soft, smooth or thick objects go on a flatbed UV printer with a suction bed and a raised Z-axis.
- Prime the slippery surfaces. Glass, ceramic and tile, bare metal and many plastics have their own primers: F-UV/PRIMER/GLASS, F-UV/PRIMER/CERAMIC, F-UV/PRIMER/METAL, F-UV/PRIMER/PLASTIC.
- Add white for dark or clear material and varnish for gloss. White is laid under the colour on dark, coloured or transparent surfaces; varnish adds a clear gloss or spot effect on top. Both need a printer with a channel or head for them.
- For wallpaper soak-in and vehicle wraps, eco-solvent can still be the better ink. AM.CO.ZA's own ink-comparison video explains why below.
Two ink finishes, and how to tell which one you need
AM.CO.ZA's current UV inks come in two finishes. Both cure under LED-UV light during printing, so the print can be handled straight away.
| Glossy and hard finish (F2-UV) | Flexible, stretchable soft finish (F-UV/FLEX) | |
|---|---|---|
| Single bottles | F2-UV/BLACK, F2-UV/VARNISH | F-UV/FLEX/BLACK, F-UV/FLEX/WHITE, F-UV/FLEX/VARNISH |
| Combo packs | F2-UV/COMBO/WHITE (CMYK and white), F2-UV/COMBO/VARNISH (CMYK, white and varnish) | F-UV/FLEXI/CMYKW (CMYK and white), F-UV/FLEXI/CMYKWV (CMYK, white and varnish) |
| What the product data says | Glossy, hard-wearing finish with good resistance to water, scratching and fading; for flexible roll media and rigid flat sheets | Stays flexible rather than rigid, so designs that bend or flex are less likely to crack; a "soft, flexible, rubber-like finish" |
| Best for | Signboards, display panels, Correx, ACM, acrylic, glass, tiles, promotional items, labels that stay flat | Banners and vinyl that are rolled and handled, stickers on curved items, UV-DTF transfers, raised 3D-style logos, fabric transfers |
| Printer packages | F2-2513UV/XP600 ships with scratch-resistant CMYK, white and varnish; F1-1804/UV, F2-1804/UV ship with standard CMYK UV ink | The UV2 versions ship with flexible ink: F1-1804/UV2, F2-1804/UV2, F2-2513UV/XP600/UV2 |
In April 2026 AM.CO.ZA announced a reformulated "one-for-all" UV ink in Universal UV Inks for Glossy and Hard Finishes, More Scratch Resistance, and A LOT Cheaper (2026-04-08) and New Universal UV Inks for Glossy & Hard Finishes, More Scratch Resistance, & a LOT Cheaper (2026-04-10). The video says the UV-DTF sticker ink gave the best result of its three UV machines, being more glossy, brighter and more scratch resistant, so all the UV inks were reformulated to carry those strengths. It says the new ink works in any of its UV machines (large-format, flatbed and UV-DTF), costs much less, and that the older UV inks will be phased out over time.
A note on finish: an older 2024 comparison, UV Ink, ECO-Solvent Ink and Sublimation Ink Options for Large Format Printer Explained (2024-06-23), described UV prints as matte and eco-solvent as glossy. The 2026 glossy and hard-finish inks are described as glossy, and a varnish layer adds gloss on any UV print, so judge the finish by the ink you buy now.

Which printer can carry which material
| Printer type | Examples | What it handles | Limits AM.CO.ZA names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roll-to-roll UV | F1-1804/UV, F2-1804/UV, F2-3204/UV | Vinyl, banners, posters, decals, labels, wallpaper and other roll media; 1,800 mm or 3,200 mm print width | The F1-1804/UV record says plainly that it "is a roll-to-roll printer, not a flatbed model" |
| Hybrid UV (roll plus flatbed table) | F1-1804/HYBRID, F2-1804/HYBRID, F2-3204/HYBRID | Everything on a roll, plus boards fed flat over the table: vinyl, Correx, ABS, reflective material and aluminium composite | Boards up to about 5 mm; raise the head for anything 3 mm and over; soft or porous boards that pinch rollers dent need a flatbed (FAQ of UV Hybrid Printers, Printing Thickness, Ink Difference, Daily and Holiday Maintenance (2025-01-13)). #SortIT Howto Setup a Hybrid Printer Extension Table Using Fluent Roller Tracks for UV Flatbed Print (2020-02-11) shows the extension table set-up |
| Flatbed UV | F2-6090UV/XP600, F2-2513UV/XP600 | Rigid and flexible sheets, objects and thick items laid on a suction bed; separate heads for colour, white and varnish | 600 x 900 mm with a 140 mm Z-axis, or 2,500 x 1,300 mm with a 240 mm Z-axis |
The FAQ video FAQ of UV Hybrid Printers, Printing Thickness, Ink Difference, Daily and Holiday Maintenance (2025-01-13) adds that materials too heavy, too smooth or too fragile for pinch rollers are best on a dedicated flatbed, where a suction bed holds them down instead of rollers pressing on top.
White and varnish: when you need them
- White gives a solid base under colour so it stays bright on dark, coloured or transparent material, such as clear vinyl or Perspex. In the FAQ video AM.CO.ZA recommends a single-head CMYK printer for first-time users who will not print on clear material every day, and a double-head printer (one white head, one colour head) when they will (FAQ of UV Hybrid Printers, Printing Thickness, Ink Difference, Daily and Holiday Maintenance (2025-01-13)). White can go under or over the colour (Flatbed UV Printer 600x900mm with CMYK & White Double Printhead for White On Top or Below Printing (2024-07-21)).
- Varnish is a clear ink for full-surface gloss or spot effects on logos and text (F2-UV/VARNISH), or a soft clear layer that stays flexible (F-UV/FLEX/VARNISH). On the granite test the varnish layer gave the print thickness, protection and gloss (Printing Directly onto Granite with a UV Flatbed Printer (2026-05-25)).
- Three-head flatbeds print all three in one pass. The FlatPRINT records say their three XP600 heads apply CMYK, white and varnish separately.
Curing: the lamp kit has to match the printer
UV ink only hardens under UV light, so every UV printer carries LED-UV lamps beside the print head. AM.CO.ZA sells upgrade and replacement kits by head count:
| Kit | For | What the product record says |
|---|---|---|
| F1-UV | Single-head printer | One 3515 LED-UV lamp (DC 45 V, 100 W, water-cooled), a 500 W water chiller with signal control, 10 litres of distilled cooling water and two aviation connectors |
| F2-UV | Single-head printer | 7015 LED-UV lamp, DC 75 V, 200 W, water-cooled |
| F2-UV/D | Two or more heads | 7015 LED-UV lamps, DC 75 V, 200 W, water-cooled |
| F2-UV/S | Three or more heads, varnish printing | 3515 and 7015 lamps together, for the controlled curing varnish needs |
| F-LED, F-CHILLER | Replacement lamp and chiller | The lamp needs a constant-current supply and active water cooling; the chiller is 220 V, 500 W |
#SortIT, What is UV Upgrade Kit for FastCOLOUR ONE Large Format Printer, About LED-UV Lamps &Chiller (2020-01-15) shows a FastCOLOUR ONE being upgraded from eco-solvent to UV with the lamp and chiller kit, and UV Lamp On/Off and Distance Setting in PrintExp (2026-07-07) covers lamp on/off and distance settings in the PrintExp software.
Light-safe ink lines, and keeping the ink moving
UV ink is made of monomers, oligomers (reactive resins), pigments and photo-initiators that react to UV light, so it must not see light anywhere in the ink system before it reaches the material. That is why AM.CO.ZA's bottles, tanks and tubes are black (#SortIT, How LED-UV Ink Works and Why UV Ink Cured Instantly with Better Printing Quality (2020-01-28)). Replacement parts are sold as UV-resistant: F-INK/TUBE/UV, F-INK/DAMPER/DX5/UV, F-INK/FILTER/UV, F-INK/BULK/UV. The bulk system has ink-level sensors and a white-ink agitation motor.
From the FAQ video and the conversion video (FAQ of UV Hybrid Printers, Printing Thickness, Ink Difference, Daily and Holiday Maintenance (2025-01-13), Convert to Premium Hybrid Inks for FastCOLOUR Flatbed UV Printer, Ink Tubing & Dampers Also Changed (2021-12-09)):
- Shake every bottle before pouring, because the pigment settles.
- After filling the tanks, draw ink into the dampers with a syringe so the head has ink when it starts.
- Keep the printer out of sunlight and yellow lighting, which can cure ink inside the printer.
- Leave the printer on when it has white ink, so the agitator keeps stirring it.
- Use F2-UV/CLEAN only for cleaning (it is made for UV-curable inks only) and F-UV/WIPE around the print head; do not leave cleaner in the capping station. A separate capping solution keeps the head wet for up to about two weeks when the printer stands.
Changing ink type on a printer is not a next-day decision: the FAQ video warns that it can mean replacing the print head and ink system. Printhead Service, Large Format Printer Maintenance with New Hybrid UV Ink Flushing and Conversion (2021-12-04) shows a print-head service with hybrid UV ink flushing and conversion, and converting a printer to hybrid UV ink lists the steps.
The 2023 claims, checked against current data
| 2023 claim | What AM.CO.ZA's current data and videos say |
|---|---|
| Prints on both soft and rigid substrates | Yes, but the printer decides what you can feed: roll-to-roll for soft media, hybrid for boards up to about 5 mm, flatbed for thick, heavy or fragile items. The ink finish now matters too: hard for rigid, flexible for soft |
| Dries instantly | Yes. LED-UV lamps cure the ink as the head passes, so prints can be cut and handled at once (UV Ink, ECO-Solvent Ink and Sublimation Ink Options for Large Format Printer Explained (2024-06-23)) |
| Resists fading, scratching and weathering | The FAQ video says UV ink is more UV and scratch resistant than eco-solvent and should last up to five years in the sun, but the vinyl often weathers first, so use media rated for that life and laminate outdoor work (FAQ of UV Hybrid Printers, Printing Thickness, Ink Difference, Daily and Holiday Maintenance (2025-01-13)); Outdoor 5 Years Sign Printed on FastCOLOUR UV Printer and Laminated by Rollman Laminator (2019-06-05) shows a laminated five-year sign |
| Eco-friendly, low VOC | AM.CO.ZA's 2026 video says UV inks produce low VOC emissions (Universal UV Inks for Glossy and Hard Finishes, More Scratch Resistance, and A LOT Cheaper (2026-04-08)). Still follow UV ink safety when handling uncured ink and cleaner |
FAQ
Can one UV ink do both banners and signboards? One printer can, if it is a hybrid. For the ink, choose by the job that matters most: the glossy and hard-finish set for boards and flat signs, or the flexible set for media that is rolled, bent or stretched. AM.CO.ZA's April 2026 videos say its reformulated UV ink works across its UV machines; check the current range on the uvinks.co.za site page.
Do I always need a primer? No. Vinyl, banner, paper and many boards print without one, and the 2024 ink video says UV usually needs no pre-application. Use a primer when the surface is smooth and non-porous, such as glass, glazed tile, bare metal or slick plastic, or when a scratch test shows the print lifting.
How thick can the material be? On the hybrid printers, about 5 mm, raising the head for anything 3 mm and over. On the FlatPRINT flatbeds, up to the Z-axis: 140 mm on the 600 x 900 mm model and 240 mm on the 2,500 x 1,300 mm model.
Why did my colours change on coloured vinyl? Without a white base, the vinyl's own colour changes how the inks look: in UV Print on Coloured Vinyl with Overlay Result, and Help Vinyl Cutter Pickup Registration Mark (2021-05-02) black stayed crisp while yellow vanished and greens darkened. Print a white base first on a printer with white ink, or test each colour.
Is UV better than eco-solvent? For speed, scratch resistance and rigid materials, AM.CO.ZA's videos favour UV. For wallpaper that must absorb ink, vehicle wraps and the lowest ink cost on plain vinyl, eco-solvent can still win (UV Ink, ECO-Solvent Ink and Sublimation Ink Options for Large Format Printer Explained (2024-06-23)).
Can I put UV ink in my existing printer? Only if it has, or is upgraded to have, LED-UV lamps, a chiller and UV-resistant ink lines, and the ink system is flushed. See converting a printer to hybrid UV ink.
