UV Printing Made Simple in Illustrator
Alexis Koslovsky and Kendra Valdez, 1819 Madera Designs
UV printing opens the door to so many possibilities, but file setup can feel like the hardest part. In this session, we will show you how to use Adobe Illustrator to confidently set up files for printing on a wide range of items and shapes without overcomplicating the process.
We will walk through our real workflow and show you how to build clean, intentional files that translate beautifully to print. From standard pieces to more unique shapes, you will learn how to think through your layouts, prep your artwork, and create a repeatable system that saves time and reduces mistakes.
This session is all about making it feel simple, approachable, and actually doable so you can stop overthinking your files and start printing with confidence.
Alexis and Kendra, proud Latina moms and cousin sisters, share a vibrant passion for creativity and community engagement. Founding 1819 Madera Designs was a natural step in their journey. What began as a creative outlet has grown into a thriving laser engraving and UV printing business powered by their fleet of lasers and commercial LogoJet printer.
Teachers at heart, they are passionate about sharing their knowledge and helping others build strong, sustainable creative businesses, all while showing their daughters what it looks like to be strong, creative, and driven women.
Together, they cherish creating meaningful work, supporting their community, and building a life and business rooted in purpose.
Everything they create is Hecho Con Amor.
