What is the Subsurface Printing - What is subsurface printing??

Accepted Answer

This is when the bottom side of a transparent face material is printed  the adhesive layer is applied to the printed surface  which traps the print between the face material and the adhesive  This is useful for creating long life  durable pre-printed transparent labels as the print is protected from damage caused by environmental factors  such as humidity and exposure to light  and abrasion damage if the label surface is scratched             It can also be used to create a more opaque print  by printing the same thing on the top and bottom surfaces   to print a background for the text or image that is printed on the top surface  or to create a 3D or layered effect  Subsurface printing often involves mirror printing  so that the text or image appears the correct way round when viewed through the transparent face material  This form of printing can only be done during the manufacturing process  meaning it is only suitable for pre-printed labels             Here is the Harvard-style citation to use if you would like to reference this definition of the term subsurface printing     Label Planet  2020    What is subsurface printing    Subsurface Printing Definition    Available at  https   www labelplanet co uk glossary subsurface-printing   Accessed  January 1  2023
