Advantages of LED UV inkjet technology

In a competitive environment, printers need to provide their customers with more than just high-quality output and reliable service. To stand out from the crowd, you first need to help your customers capture the attention of your target audience and differentiate the products you can offer.

A good way to achieve this is to give your customers the option to print on different or innovative and specialized substrates. However, this can cause problems for you as a printer, as some non-porous substrates do not absorb certain types of inks well and take too long to dry, and therefore may provide less-than-ideal end results. Streaked, smudged or blurred prints are unlikely to impress customers who are simply moving their business elsewhere.

This means it's important to choose inks that can print on a variety of substrates without compromising quality or speed. You don't want to invest in special digital stocks or expensive coatings; you just need a reliable inkjet printer that can deliver superior quality on a variety of substrates.

Nine advantages of LED UV inkjet technology

Using ultraviolet (UV) light through light-emitting diodes (LEDs) replaces traditional mercury lamp curing. It offers nine key advantages.

1. It prints at high resolution: It uses UV LED inkjet technology to achieve a true resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi with eight levels of grayscale, droplet sizes from 3.5 to 7 liters, and shared, crisp text quality.

2. It prints on non-porous substances: You can print on anything from PVC, Teslin or Tyvek to synthetics and foils without the need for pre-coated substrates. The result is a natural offset appearance. Thermal substrates can also be printed safely and with high quality results.

3. It dries immediately: Short jobs are becoming more common and there is a high demand for printers that can complete projects quickly. UV LED inks dry immediately, so you can send short jobs with tight turnaround times directly to the next production step immediately after printing. This means no more smudged or blurry prints and the ability to do automatic duplex printing that is not possible with traditional inks.

4. It offers a wide color gamut: With UV LED inkjet technology, you get 68% more color gamut compared to four-color offset printing.

5. It is light resistant: Prints with UV inks will not fade as fast as those printed on offset presses, even when exposed to direct sunlight. As a result, your prints will remain vibrant, making them ideal for signage and display and, in some cases, packaging.

6. Highly stable: UV inks are less likely to dry when exposed to air, so you won't see jet misalignment caused by the ink drying on the nozzle surface. And, because the paper transfer technology is the same as for offset presses, you'll see reliable and consistent paper handling throughout the paper path.

7. It has precise registration accuracy: When printing on paper substrates, it eliminates the rippling or curling problems normally associated with heat fixing and drying and has precise registration.

8. Decorative or value-added coatings can be used: UV LED inkjet presses print decorations digitally, turning ordinary jobs into extraordinary materials with spot printing to highlight defined areas or add tactile 3D effects.

9. Lower energy costs: LED UV lamps last significantly longer than traditional UV lamps, saving time and money and reducing heat emissions. UV inks are also solvent-free, so LED UV curing eliminates the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), avoiding the environmental problems they cause and reducing energy costs and heat-related hazards.

 

In a competitive industry, where your reputation depends on the quality of your work and the speed of your project turnaround, these benefits can set you apart. Depending on the capabilities offered by our UV LED inkjet technology, you can attract new customers and enter new markets.

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...
