What is UV Colorlast?

Gemini’s UV Colorlast is a new, alternative solution for flat cut metal and flat cut acrylic multi-color logo needs when you need a quality, cost-effective product delivered fast, all while covered under our lifetime guarantee for interior and exterior installs.

UV Colorlast

UV Colorlast combines our paint and UV print finish processes to create quality multi-color logos. Letters and logos are painted with a base color, then additional elements are UV printed to create the design. After UV printing, letters and logos are sealed with a clear gloss topcoat to protect the product from atmospheric elements. This process offers the longevity of paint and design freedom of UV print.

When to Request UV Colorlast

UV Colorlast is for flat cut acrylic and flat cut metal when you would traditionally request three or more full-painted colors. Utilizing a CMYK print process, we recommend requesting a traditional full-color painted logo when exact PMS colors are required for the entire project. We can color-match the painted base coat to your PMS or custom color, but other additional design elements will be UV printed. UV Colorlast is a great alternative for traditional full-paint and UV-printed projects.

Improved Process from Traditional UV Printing

As an improved process from traditional UV printing, UV Colorlast reduces the banding and dot patterns you may see with traditional UV printing. With our clear coat finish, transitions from paint to print create a smooth appearance and is covered by our lifetime guarantee, suitable for interior and exterior applications.

Compared to traditional masking and painting, UV Colorlast is cost-effective. With traditional multi-color paint, additional paint colors increase the cost. UV Colorlast provides flat, tiered pricing to provide a cost-effective solution when exact PMS matching is not required for entire logos. Traditional multi-color painting is a labor-intensive process with mask and tape for multiple colors, requiring longer production times. UV Colorlast is not as labor-intensive as traditional full-color painting, allowing us to produce your projects quicker for faster delivery without sacrificing quality. 

Finally, UV Colorlast expands design capabilities with color gradients and many detailed colors you couldn’t get with traditional multi-color paint. The smooth transition from paint and UV print processes creates beautiful multi-color designs that incorporate key elements of your project.
