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.

What do you Know About Eco-Solvent Ink?

Eco-solvent ink, or environmentally friendly solvent ink, is a new type of outdoor solvent inkjet with high safety, low volatility, low toxicity and high flash point that has been popular in the outdoor solvent-based digital inkjet market in recent years. Ink, its development has not stalled. At present, some people have put forward higher requirements and developed it into a green solvent outdoor inkjet. It is required to have a boiling point higher than 150°C and a closed cup flash point higher than 65°C. As a   Uv Ink Manufacturer , I would like to share with you. ESL Eco Solvent Ink Advantage Compared with solvent-based inks, the biggest advantage of eco-solvent inks is environmental friendliness, which is mainly reflected in the reduction of volatile matter VOC and the elimination of many toxic organic solvents, which are no longer needed in the production workshop of eco-solvent inkjet printers. Ventilation device. Eco-solvent ink not only maintains the advantages of high-pre...

How do you know which ink to use for your printer?

If you are using a new printer for the first time, you may not be familiar with the type of cartridges your printer uses. Each printer uses a specific printer cartridge family for printing. The printer cartridge family is identified by the printer brand name and cartridge number. 1. The easiest way to determine which cartridges are appropriate for your printer is to turn on the printer and see which cartridges are currently in the machine. 2. If there are no cartridges inside the printer, you can search for the printer model on the manufacturer's website. The manufacturer's page for your printer should contain a list of compatible cartridges. 3. You can also refer to the printer user guide that came with your machine to identify the cartridge series.    Recognizing individual Cartridges for Epson As you know, each type use individual cartridges for Epson printers , which means that each cartridge contains a specific color of ink. This is different from HP's thre...

Solvent Dye Sublimation Ink

Solvent dye sublimation inks are basically pigments suspended in an oil base, but of course there are other stabilizers and surfactants in the mix. Solvent inks may contain a chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer at 2-6%, a polymeric amide at 0-4%, a ethyl acetate at 0-4%, 2-methoxy-1-mthylethyl at 0-1.25%, N-butyl acetate at 0-2.5%, and Butan-2-OL at 0-0.5%. There will also be a distillate at 0-3%, and at least one subliminal disperse dye at a rate of 0.25% to 9%, which must be insoluble in either an included ether or acetate. Propylene glycol must be included in the range of 0% to 2%, and an additional acetate will make up 78% to 95% of the solution. This entire solvent based dye sublimation ink solution must, when mixed properly, be able to flow through the head of an ink jet printer in order to function properly.   Aqueous Dye Sublimation Ink In aqueous dye sublimation ink, water is the solvent in which the pigments and other ingredients are suspended, and the water will typically m...
