Transparent Imitation Hard Enamel with UV Printing

How Photo-Etched Brass with Transparent Imitation Hard Enamel and UV Printing Is Made

This eight-step production process combines precision photo etching, electroplating, transparent imitation hard enamel filling, and UV printing. The transparent imitation hard enamel creates smooth, glass-like color areas that allow light to pass through, while UV printing adds gradients, shading, fine illustrations, and multicolor details. Each piece is carefully polished and inspected to ensure accurate color, print alignment, clean edges, and a consistent finish.
