Modern digital wide-format printing popular - UV ink

All industries will adopt new technologies in the process of development to increase their profits. In the digital wide-format printing industry, we can call UV ink industry innovation.

In the market competition, the sales of products are very important, but to evaluate the quality of a product, not only depends on its sales. For a best-selling new product, we still have to judge it from whether it has achieved the desired effect!

The following is a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of UV inks:

Several advantages of UV inks:

UV inks have many advantages: they support different types of printing presses; the inks dry faster; the ink dots do not disperse; ink dots do not stick; and the density of UV inks can be increased during the printing process. - The above advantages make UV inks have a particularly good reputation in the silk screen industry.

Another remarkable feature of UV ink resistance is that it does not contain variable organic compounds, which means that UV durable ink is more environmentally friendly, ensuring that workers will not be exposed to harmful substances in the printing process, and at the same time, it will also avoid environmental pollution.

Because UV inks do not dry on the printheads, this saves many headaches, such as the need to clean the printheads. In theory, printing with UV inks is faster because it eliminates the time required to dry cleaning agents or use large dryers.

UV ink disadvantages:

Although the advantages of UV inks are many, it still has many problems, and most of these problems are found in the production process. Therefore, if we want to get a good printing effect, we need to pay attention to the use of UV inks in printing. Problems that can cause problems with UV inks include shipping, storage, ventilation, light curing, print head performance, and ink-supporting technologies.

In addition, UV inks have only transparent and translucent colors, lacking in color changes, and are prone to corrosion. However, neither of these problems nor the problems that occur when inkjet printing is performed with UV inks cannot be solved.
