What Kind of ink is UV Ink?

 As a UV Ink For Inkjet Printer Manufacturer, share with you about the led uv ink features .

UV ink is characterized by oil-based ink, and it is mainly used on UV Flatbed, roll to roll, or Hybrid printer. Referred to as UV ink.

Immediate Curing

UV inks have selective absorption of UV light. Drying is affected by the total energy of UV light source radiation and the energy distribution of light of different wavelengths. Under the irradiation of UV light, the UV ink photopolymerization initiator absorbs photons of a certain wavelength and is excited to an excited state to form free radicals or ions. Then through intermolecular energy transfer, the polymerized prepolymer and light-sensitive monomers and polymers become excited states, resulting in a charge-transfer complex. These complex particles are continuously cross-linked and polymerized to solidify into a film.

UV ink is due to its special internal structure. Can not see the light and high temperature. So UV ink bottles are generally black. The ink path system inside the UV machine is mainly opaque black.


Curing Speed related to colors

The curing speed of UV ink is actually related to the color. Some colors in UV ink absorbs more ultraviolet light, and some colors absorb less ultraviolet light, so the curing speed is not uniform, but it is only a slight difference. There is not much impact on the actual printing process. The color state of UV ink printed with a UV printer is a matte state because the curing speed of UV ink is very fast, and it will be cured after printing before it becomes smooth and smooth. Since the light is diffusely reflected on the surface of the UV ink, the gloss texture becomes difficult to appear (matte: the reflected light is "diffuse reflection", there is no glare, no glare, and it gives a sense of calm and elegant. A bright light has a smooth surface and a mirrored surface. Reflection and glare. It gives a bright and gorgeous feeling.)

Too much black concentration in UV ink will lead to poor adhesion and curing. Due to the relatively high carbon content in black UV ink, carbon absorbs the ultraviolet light in the UV lamp, resulting in a decrease in ultraviolet light that can actually participate in the curing reaction.

Temperature

As the temperature changes, the viscosity of UV ink will have a slight influence. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity. Therefore, the color hardness printed in the early morning of winter is too large, while the color hardness printed at noon in summer will be a little softer (similar to thermal expansion and contraction). UV ink has a higher viscosity and is generally suitable for industrial-grade printers.

The process of making different types of inks

One of the most important, integral and indivisible factors in ink manufacturing is   the type of pigment used in the ink . Everything from the appearance of the ink to the characteristics of the ink to the way it lasts depends on the pigments used to color the ink. Therefore, when you want to know the right type of ink for your requirements, it is important to know the type of pigment used in the ink. With the wide variety of inks on the market, it can be difficult to know which ink is best for the purpose you have in mind. When it comes time to print, having a guide to pigments and inks makes it easier for people to make the right choice.   Water-based inks and their pigments. While inks have many uses and they represent many businesses, one of the most common commercial uses of ink is for printing paper. Copiers, printers, and other such printing devices utilize digital printing methods, and the inks used for these purposes are usually water-based inks. Experts such as pigm...

How to print DTF (direct to film) Sublimation step by step

  Print images for sublimation on textiles, using a film and   DTF printing technique ! This is an introduction to a new printing technique called DTF printing also known as direct to film printing. This printing technique brings more possibilities to textile printing as it can be fully applied on dark color and light color fabrics such as nylon, polyester, cotton, canvas, leather, and others.  It is a method of sublimation of small designs whose results are in full color. The designs will have a very soft and smooth texture, they will be stretchable, and long-lasting because they will be resistant to washing.   The DTF print process requires: ● DTFprinter/ Epson L805 or Epson L1800 (They must be adapted) ●  DTF inks ● DTF powder ● DTF film  ● Special design software (ACRORIP, EKprint, Kothari RIP) ● Heat press The dtf film comes in two sizes: the A4 size, and the A3 size which allows you to print larger format images...

What is DTF Printing?

DTF printing is direct-to-film printing, which is a supplement to the inkjet garment decoration process. Even white ink does not require pretreatment. It is very convenient for customized DIY printing market. What is DTF? DTF is an alternative printing process for DTG. The film was printed using a specific type of water-based ink.It was then dried with powdered glue on the back and then heat cured for storage or immediate use. One of the benefits of DTF is that there is no need to use pretreatment. DTF cannot do this. The powdered glue does the job for you. After hot pressing, the soft water-based ink is transferred to the garment in about 15 seconds. Transfer is most suitable for polyester and other non-cotton fabrics that are difficult to print with traditional DTG printing. DTG is mainly designed for cotton garments printing. DTF is difficult to replace DTG for cotton printing. However, due to its low level of investment in its independent version or fully automated system for mass ...
