There are many production processes for patterns and texts on guitar picks: silk screen printing, water transfer printing, laser, manual drawing, and UV printing process have gradually become popular in recent years.
Silk screen printing: suitable for single-color, two-color, and simple line pattern printing;
Water transfer printing: whether it is the transfer of text and photo patterns to the surface of the material or the water-based film dissolved in water to carry the image transfer, these two processes are relatively cumbersome, requiring more labor and pollution.
Laser: mostly on metal guitar picks, the color of the pattern is single.
Manual drawing: artificial form has high artistic value, high price, and low production volume.
UV printing: simple and convenient, can be directly printed in color, and can also produce 3D relief stereoscopic effects.
Guitar pick materials suitable for UV printing:
1. Aluminum, brass, stone, copper, stainless steel;
2. Ivory, nylon, plastic, wood, rubber, etc.
Guitar picks UV printing effect:
Guitar pick material shape:
1. Triangle.
2. Water drop types, etc., are not restricted.
It should be noted that during the mass production process, special molds will be made. This can fix the material and avoid pattern dislocation on the one hand, and greatly improve production efficiency on the other hand. Technicians can place the raw materials in advance and achieve uninterrupted printing of the machine.
