UV Curable Ink

(3) Light curing initiator

Adding photocuring initiators (curing accelerators JAR-2, JAR-8, JAR-15) is an effective way to improve curability. However, excessive addition of the photocuring initiator will hinder curing. In addition, the odor will remain after irradiation, please pay attention to the specified addition amount (addition amount is less than 4%).

(4) Printing film thickness

The thinner the printed film, the better the curability. General colored ink can obtain sufficient curing performance in the film thickness range of 10-12μm. If the film thickness exceeds 15μm or more, poor adhesion may occur due to poor curing. Varnish-based inks have no problem in curability even if they are thicker than 100μm.

(5) Ultraviolet intensity W/cm2 and accumulated light quantity J/cm2

is the standard for judging the curability of ultraviolet rays and the amount of accumulated light. The intensity of ultraviolet rays is as described in 2-①, which is determined by the output of the lamp and the shape of the lamp house. In addition, the data of cumulative ultraviolet intensity and irradiation time is the cumulative amount of light. The amount of accumulated light varies with the number of lamps, the speed of the mesh belt, and the irradiation time.

The overall judgment of curability is determined by the amount of accumulated light, but for the internal curability of curing in the thickness direction of the printed film described in (4), the important thing is the intensity of ultraviolet rays. When the ultraviolet intensity is low, increasing the irradiation time and increasing the accumulated light quantity will not improve the internal hardening of the bottom of the printed film. In this situation, please lower the height of the lamp or change the lamp output to higher output. solving issues.

(6) Temperature and preheating during irradiation

The ambient temperature during uv irradiation has a great influence on the curing of uv ink. The higher the temperature, the better the curability. Therefore, if preheating is performed, the curability of the ink will be enhanced and the adhesion will be better.

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...
