What are the UV Curable Inks Used for Metals?

As a Uv Ink Supplier, share with you.

There are two types of UV curable inks for metal printing: cationic or free radical (acrylate). Cationic UV curable inks all contain a chemical composition based on epoxy resin. The curing speed of this ink system is slower than that of the traditional free radical system, which is generally based on acrylic resin. If properly treated, both ink systems can bring good outdoor durability to printed matter. Both cationic and free radical UV curable inks are chemically reactive. During the curing process, a hard ink film can be produced. These ink films are not only resistant to abrasion and corrosion by chemical agents, but also similar to thermosetting solvent inks.

No matter which type of ink you choose for metal printing, this ink should meet the specific performance requirements of the job. For example, the ink film formed by screen printing ink must not only have a certain degree of hardness to resist wear, scratches, ink accumulation and solvent erosion, but also have enough flexibility to facilitate people's bending, die-cutting and Press bumps.

There will not be one ink and one metal substrate that can meet all your production requirements. On the contrary, you need to deal with different coating materials and at the same time match the ink system with different coating materials and the end use of the product. If the product is used internally, it is very suitable for epoxy resin inks, and resin thermosetting inks are also available. If the product does not need to be solvent-resistant, then air-dried solvent-based inks are sufficient. If the printed matter needs both corrosion resistance and outdoor durability, air-drying and epoxy-based solvent-based inks are not ideal choices, but other traditional thermosetting or UV-curing inks can be used in this field. Your first task is to ensure that the ink film can adhere to the substrate after drying or curing, and you should choose different inks according to different materials.

What is the Difference Between These Three Print Heads?

On the surface, it is a question of print head selection. In-depth understanding is actually an application problem for different inks and different market needs. To better improve the consistency and coordination with boards, inks, and media, this should be the original intention of Epson I3200 series print heads divided into water-based, UV, eco-solvent and other different types, with targeted subdivision. Water-based is easier to understand. I don’t think anyone would want to use water-based print heads for UV and eco-solvent (oil-based) solutions. It is almost impossible to get high viscosity and low sheet UV inks through water-based print heads and obtain good control. At the same time, the life of the print head must be considered in this process. We will not discuss unconventional thinking too much. Because that road has been verified by history: this road is nowhere. Then  Uv Ink Manufacturer  will focus on the difference between UV print head and oil-based eco-solvent...

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...

Applications and Advantages of Mild Solvent Ink

Mild solvent ink   has gained significant popularity in the printing industry due to its versatility, durability, and environmental advantages. This type of ink offers a balance between traditional solvent-based inks and eco-solvent inks, providing excellent print quality while minimizing the impact on the environment. In this article, we will explore the applications and advantages of mild solvent ink, highlighting its suitability for various printing projects and its positive environmental attributes. Wide Range of Applications InkMall Mild solvent ink  is widely used in a variety of applications across the printing industry. Its versatility makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor printing projects alike. Some common applications of mild solvent ink include: Outdoor Signage: Mild solvent ink delivers exceptional durability and weather resistance, making it an excellent choice for outdoor signage, billboards, and banners. The prints produced with mild solvent ink can withsta...
