Printing on MDF: A Guide to Medium-Density Fiberboard
MDF, or medium-density fiberboard, is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers bonded together with wax and resin. Its stability, affordability, customization options, and strength make it an ideal material for printing.
Applications of printed MDF include retail displays, wall art, event backdrops, trade show exhibits, restaurant menus, cabinetry, furniture accents, packaging prototypes, and 3D display pieces.
The cost of a full-color 4' x 8' printed MDF panel ranges from $100 to $500, depending on ink coverage and resolution. MDF offers an affordable way to create high-impact designs compared to other print materials.
How to Print on MDF:
1.Design and cut the MDF using a CO2 laser cutter and design software like Adobe Illustrator.
2. Prepare the surface by painting the MDF board with white wood paint to seal and prime it for printing.
3.Load the painted MDF board onto a UV flatbed printer and start printing.
