Advanced UV print-effects studio

Turn any image into touch.

A desktop studio for professional UV printers. Mask any region, combine haptic relief, lenticular flip and gloss in a single print, and export print-ready data for your machine. No 3D modelling, no CAD, no guesswork.

What is FuturistInk?

It adds the third dimension to print.

You work in 2D — upload artwork, mask regions, assign effects. FuturistInk generates the exact height maps, lens tiles and varnish channels your UV printer needs to make a flat image raised, tactile, glossy or animated. No CAD, no meshes — with a live 3D preview so you see it before you print.

Feel it

Sculpted relief you can run a finger over.

Move it

Images that change with the angle.

Shine it

Spot gloss that follows the art.

Print it

Ready-to-RIP data for your machine.

Material texture library

Print the feel of any material.

Wood grain, woven fabric, stone, leather, botanical and architectural textures — dropped in as printable, tactile relief.

Region masking & multi-effect

Mask anything. Layer everything. One file.

This is the heart of FuturistInk. Cut your artwork into as many regions as you like — each gets its own treatment — and the studio composites them into a single, pixel-aligned print dataset.

  • Unlimited regions. Isolate every object with AI masking or draw by hand — add, subtract, refine.
  • A different effect per region. Relief on one object, gloss on another, a lenticular flip in the corner.
  • Composited into one print. All effects merge into a single, perfectly aligned dataset — height and varnish together.
  • Verified live in 3D. Inspect every region and channel before a drop of ink is laid.
