UV printing on wood grain creates a striking layered effect - ink sits on top of the textured visual grain, which can add depth and character to logos, photos, and full-color designs. Lighter grains like Maple provide the most color-accurate base; darker grains like Walnut work best for designs that lean into contrast.
