UV Print onto a Table

[bdw99]

I have a customer wanting me to flatbed one of those plastic folding tables. Im not that worried about actually printing but I am worried about the ink easily flaking off after use. Anyone have suggestions on the best way for me to seal the ink? It's UV.

Probably need a good automotive clear that has some flex to it. Why not a table cover?

Or a good rigid laminate

My mind was going toward that direction.

Oh you know, people have to make things complicated

I’d consider flame treating it. Just touch it with a blowtorch. You could also try kolorcure metal and glass primer.

I was also gonna suggest flame or corona treatment

We print hundreds of YETI and RTIC coolers a year. You will for sure need to flame it before and use some sort of primer. We also print varnish on top to help protect them. Hope they don't have great expectations for print quality over the entire top of that table as it will not be perfectly flat. You will have to find the high spot and go off that for your print gap. Personally I would not touch that job.
