As a dedicated UV printing partner operating within Addis Ababa, UVPRINTONE eliminates the common pain points of international shipping delays and inconsistent material compatibility. Our local team understands the specific challenges of Ethiopian industrial environments, such as high dust levels during the dry season and intense solar exposure at 2,355 meters elevation. We maintain a stocked inventory of compatible substrates, including PET film for UV printing and acrylic board for UV printing, ready for quick turnaround. Unlike overseas suppliers, we provide face-to-face technical support for calibration and material testing, ensuring your first batch meets production specifications. Our local service reduces lead times by up to 60% compared to importing from China or Europe, a critical advantage for Addis Ababa’s fast-paced construction and advertising projects.
UVPRINTONE offers a comprehensive range of UV printing services in Addis Ababa, covering flatbed, curved, and roll-to-roll applications. Our flatbed UV printing handles rigid materials up to 100mm thick, ideal for building material panels and electronic housings. Curved UV printing services are available for cylindrical objects like pipes and bottles used in local manufacturing. Roll-to-roll UV printing supports flexible films for banner signage and vehicle wraps. We also provide specialty services such as UV print on glass for architectural partitions and UV print on metal for durable nameplates. Each service includes color management profiling to match Pantone references, essential for brand consistency in advertising and product labeling.

UVPRINTONE’s equipment in Addis Ababa features Konica Minolta printheads with 600x1200 dpi native resolution, enabling fine text and gradient reproduction critical for electronic product labeling and advertising graphics. Our LED UV curing system generates minimal heat, preventing warping of heat-sensitive films like PET and PVC. Key performance parameters include: color gamut covering 95% of Pantone solid coated, ink adhesion rated at 5B according to ASTM D3359 cross-hatch test, and print speed up to 80 sqm/hour on flatbed mode. We offer white ink printing for opaque backgrounds on transparent substrates, a common requirement for backlit signage in Addis Ababa’s retail sector. All prints undergo a 24-hour curing verification before shipment to ensure hardness and chemical resistance against cleaning agents used in local factories.
