When creating photo printing on the facades of wardrobes and other furniture, several modern technologies are used.

The cheapest and most affordable way to print photos for furniture is to use an adhesive polymer film. It does not require complex expensive equipment. Enough widescreen color printer that supports this type of material. The printing itself can be carried out outside the apartment, and the finished film with a printed picture is simply glued to the surface of the furniture. Its material can be different: wood, plywood, fiber boards, laminate, drywall, plastic, glass, mirrors.In addition to ease of installation and low cost, you can note another plus - the film is easy to remove and change to a new one, it is possible to update the interior at least every month.

The disadvantages of film photo printing are fragility, not protected from moisture and sunlight, the standard film layer fades in a maximum of 1-2 years. At temperature drops, the layer may warp, bubbles or defective spots appear on the image. In addition, this film is easily scratched. Another significant disadvantage is the harmfulness of the ink used for such printing, their component solvent evaporates into the environment, adversely affecting the body.

Photo printing on glass and mirrors by sandblasting machines or chemical processing. The result is not raster images with high detail and a rich palette, as in the photographs, but monochrome pictures, consisting of decorative figures and patterns. So this is not quite photo printing.

The technology of applying to the glass and mirror surface is as follows: first, an adhesive film is coated on which future shapes are cut, then the material is processed using chemical reagents or a sandblasting machine. After that, the film is removed and the image is formed, consisting of matte treated and smooth raw areas. This method is reliable and durable, applied to the styles of classic, modern or art deco.

The highest-quality way to create a detailed image on the front of the closet is a ultraviolet (UV) photo printing. It can be used with any surfaces: from wood, laminate, glass, plastic and even metal. Polymeric dyes are used as coloring matter, which are converted into film by ultraviolet radiation. It does not fade, does not collapse under the action of moisture and high temperatures and does not emit dangerous vapors. With the help of UV printing get raster and vector images with high resolution of any area.

For UV printing, use a special plotter with large sizes. The UV imprint is matte.When applied to smooth materials - laminated, glass, mirror image is subject to mechanical damage, so use a transparent primer for greater adhesion. In the case of transparent surfaces, printing is done on the inner side, so it will be more stable. The lack of UV printing for the fronts of wardrobes in a high cost, the ability to create only a matte pattern and weak mechanical strength.
