What are the advantages of UV ink?
The rapid development of printing industry requires not only high quality and efficiency, reducing costs, but also no pollution to the environment. UV ink can print on any substrates. The print quality is better than solvent-based and water-based gravure ink. It has the advantages of small dot expansion, high brightness, wear resistance and chemical erosion, no pollution, good dot reproduction effect, covering power and low cost.
1、 Definition of UV ink
UV is the abbreviation of the English word of UV light. UV curing and drying ink is called UV ink. UV ink is essentially a kind of liquid ink that can change from liquid to solid under a certain wavelength of ultraviolet radiation.
2、 Characteristics of UV ink
a. High performance price ratio of UV ink
UV ink has no solvent volatilization in the printing process, 100% of solid matter remains on the substrate, the color intensity and dot structure remain basically unchanged, and a very thin ink layer thickness can achieve a good printing effect. Although the price of UV ink is higher than that of solvent ink, 1kg of UV ink can print 70sheets of prints, while 1kg of solvent ink can only print 30sheets of prints.
b. UV ink can be instantly dried with high production efficiency
V ink can solidify quickly and dry instantly under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays. Prints can be stacked and processed immediately. The production speed is 120 ~ 140m / min, and the storage area can be saved by 60% ~ 80%.
c. UV ink does not pollute the environment
UV ink does not contain volatile solvents, i.e. 100% solvent-free formula, so it does not emit organic volatiles into the air during the printing process, which complies with the environmental regulations and eliminates the cost of solvent recovery.
d. UV ink is safe and reliable
UV ink is a system without water and organic solvent. Once the ink is cured, the ink film is strong and chemical resistant, and there will be no damage and peeling caused by contact with chemicals. UV ink is safe to use and can save insurance costs for users. It is suitable for packaging and printing materials with high hygienic conditions such as food, beverage and drugs.
e. Excellent quality of UV ink prints
UV ink can maintain uniform color in the printing process, the ink layer of printed products is firm, the proportion of pigment and connecting material remains unchanged, the dot deformation is small, and it can be dried instantly, so that it can complete multi-color overprint.
