ArrowJet MTS 48
Designed for the Real World of Membrane Switch Manufacturing
Membrane switches and touch panels operate in environments where ordinary prints simply don’t survive. They are pressed, embossed, laminated, exposed to chemicals, heat, moisture, and constant use.
ArrowJet MTS is engineered specifically to handle these realities.
With industrial-grade UV LED curing, flexible Polyflex inks, and high-resolution imaging, it ensures that every printed layer bonds perfectly, flexes without cracking, and remains visually stable over the product’s entire lifecycle.
This is printing that performs long after it leaves the factory floor.
Why ArrowJet MTS?
Built for Second-Surface Printing
ArrowJet MTS is optimized for reverse printing on polycarbonate and polyester films, protecting graphics beneath the surface where they are shielded from abrasion, chemicals, and wear.
The result?
Cleaner graphics. Longer life. Zero compromise on durability.
Flexible UV Inks That Work With Your Process
The Polyflex PC UV LED curable inks are designed to move with the material—not fight it.
They offer:
Strong adhesion on PC, PET, and membrane films
Flexibility for embossing and tactile switch actuation
High opacity and vibrant colors for crisp icons and legends
Resistance to chemicals, moisture, and abrasion
Compatibility with high-tack pressure-sensitive adhesives
This means smoother embossing, reliable lamination, and consistent results—even in multi-layer constructions.
From Print to Finished Panel with a Smarter Workflow
Step 1: Precision Reverse Printing
Graphics are printed on the second surface of the film, ensuring long-term protection and clarity.
Step 2: Fast, Controlled UV LED Curing
Instant curing delivers stable inks that remain flexible and resistant to heat and humidity.
Step 3: PSA Application Without Ink Failure
After a recommended post-cure period, high-tack adhesives can be applied without ink lift, smearing, or migration.
Step 4: Embossing & Assembly
Printed layers withstand forming, embossing, and repeated switch actuation without cracking or delamination.
The outcome is a membrane switch or touch panel that looks premium, feels precise, and performs reliably year after year.
