Compared with traditional water-based inks or eco-solvent inks, UV curing inks are more compatible with high quality. After curing on different media surfaces with UV LED lamps, the images can be quickly dried, the colors are more bright, and the picture is full of 3-dimensionality. At the same time, the image is not easy Fading, has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-ultraviolet, anti-scratch, and so on.
Regarding the advantages of these UV printers described above, the main focus is on UV curing inks. UV curing inks are superior to traditional water-based inks and outdoor eco-solvent inks with good media compatibility.
UV inks can be divided into color ink and white ink. The color ink is mainly CMYK LM LC, UV printer combined with white ink, which can print a super embossing effect. After printing the color ink, it can print out the high-end pattern.
The use of UV white ink is also different from the color classification of traditional solvent ink. Because UV ink can be used with white ink, many manufacturers can print some beautiful embossing effects. Print it again with color UV ink to achieve the relief effect. The eco-solvent cannot be mixed with white ink, so there is no way to print the relief effect.
The pigment particle diameter in UV ink is less than 1 micron, contains volatile organic solvents, ultra-low viscosity, and has no irritating odor. Those characteristics can ensure that the ink does not block the nozzle during the jet printing process. According to professional testing, UV ink has undergone six months of high temperature. The storage test shows that the effect is very satisfactory, and there is no abnormal phenomenon such as pigment aggregation, sinking, and delamination.
UV inks and eco-solvent inks determine their respective application methods and application fields due to their own essential characteristics. The high-quality compatibility of UV ink to media makes it suitable for printing on metals, glass, ceramics, PC, PVC, ABS, etc.; these can be applied to UV flatbed printing equipment. It can be said to be a universal printer for roll media for UV printers, which can be compatible with all roll media printing of all paper roll types. The ink layer after UV ink curing has high hardness, good adhesion, scrub resistance, solvent resistance, and high gloss.
To be brief, the UV ink can effect the print resolution a lot. Not only just printer quality, pick a high quality ink is the another half important for high quality print.
