What is the future of UV LED printing?

Just because a UV LED printer dries out ink instantly doesn't mean it affects the quality of the job. In fact, it only enhances it further. Although the technology incorporates instant drying, it ensures that the ink does not sink into the material. In turn, colors are sharper, brighter and more vivid. Sharper colors make the image stand out and grab the reader's attention. For example, if you are a watchmaking company, sharper and more vivid colors will highlight the most subtle aspects of the various products offered and resonate visually, regardless of the material on which it is printed.

A common and sometimes unavoidable problem in older printing techniques is ink shedding. This is when unwanted ink is transferred from one sheet of print to another. However, in UV LED printing, the ink sticking is eliminated because it is an instant drying process, which means there is no need for an anti-adhesive powder spray and the finished product will not have any unwanted marks.

 

UV LED printing is versatile

UV LED inks can be printed on metal, glass, ceramics, leather, wood, flooring, acrylic, wallpaper, PC, PVC, ABS and other planar or micro-curvature materials. Some materials need to be coated for better performance.

 

Environmentally friendly

While it may not seem like printers are environmentally friendly, UV LED printers are actually environmentally friendly due to the sheer size of some of these printers. UV LED printing uses less power than traditional print-drying technologies, and the instant on/off function feature reduces standby consumption between jobs and reduces overall CO2 emissions.

While being environmentally friendly won't have any impact on the quality of the work you print, it could be a huge advantage to your business if potential customers find out that you are making a difference to the environment, which is becoming increasingly important to more and more people today. Therefore, demonstrating that your high-end business is environmentally conscious can be a great way to build rapport with your customers.

 

Other advantages of UV LED

▷ No IR radiation, less heat

▷ More compact than mercury systems

▷ Low voltage

▷ No shutters or glass quartz

▷ Consistent and immediate UV output over operating life

▷ No UVC and therefore no ozone emitted, eliminating need for exhaust

▷ Does not contain heavy metals (mercury)

▷ Longer life, + 20,000 hrs as compared to 1,500 hrs on a standard UV mercury lamp

▷ Easier to convert materials that are heat sensitive

▷ LEDs are more efficient than mercury bulbs

 

What is the future of UV LED printing?

For high-end businesses that want to fully showcase their materials and products, creating items such as brochures through UV LED printers will help make everything look better. This is crucial in this digital age, as high-quality materials are the best way to attract attention. Choosing the perfect stock and using UV LED printing technology will ensure that all products produced not only look quality, but feel that way in the hands of the reader. UV LED printing is more than just a buzzword, it is making the future of printing 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...
