UVKM InkMall UV-curable ink for Konica

It is formulated with four components: pigments, monomers, oligomers, and photoinitiator. UV inks have a unique cure, and it can fast cure without penetration and evaporation. The ink is delivered to the printing medium in liquid form, and then the UV lamp in the printer works To trigger the photoinitiator. This will cause a chemical reaction between the oligomers and monomer molecules in the ink to form a water-insoluble plastic coating and firmly fix the ink to the medium. It does not require solvents, has fast curing speed, high gloss, bright colors, water resistance, ink resistance, and solvent resistance. Now, it is widely used in inkjet printing and has become a relatively mature ink technology.

Eco-solvent Ink

I3200 Eco Solvent Ink

The eco-solvent ink uses a mild solvent carrier, which means that the ink has virtually no odour as they don't contain as many volatile organic compounds.The pigment-based formulation makes it resistant to sunlight and water, too. It has the characteristics of safety, low volatility, and low toxicity. Eco-solvent inks are perfect for trade show graphics, vinyl and banners due to the vibrant colour they produce. 

The Differences Between Them

Structure

From the structural point of view, the biggest difference between UV ink and eco-solvent ink is that UV ink contains almost no or no volatile solvent, while eco-solvent ink contains about 50% solvent.

Different Curing Principles

When the UV printer is irradiated by the UV lamp, the UV ink can be dried and cured immediately. The UV printer can achieve instant printing and instant drying effects during the printing process.

Products printed with weak solvent inks need to be baked at a high temperature to dry and solidify the surface of the product, and the ink curing process is slow. Therefore, the drying process of eco-solvent ink is more troublesome.

The Color of the Ink

UV ink just has 5 color: C,M,Y,K,W (of course you can add double white because printer and accept 6 color/8 color);

Eco-solvent ink has 6 color (for 6 color printer) or 8 color (for 8 color printer), you will know, eco-solvent ink has no white color, so eco-solvent printer can not print on black items.

Printing Effect

UV ink can be used together with white ink to enable UV printers to print relief effects which can give people a special visual 3D effect.

At the same time, UV ink is suitable for printing on a variety of materials, and is simple, convenient and practical in coating processing.

Eco-solvent ink cannot be used with white ink. Therefore, the embossing effect cannot be printed using weak solvent ink. Many materials need to be coated during the printing process. Products printed without coating are easy to fade, which is a disadvantage of eco-solvent inks.

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...
