UV Curable Ink

 


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 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...
