Why are uv inks soft and hard?

   UV ink is a special ink for uv flatbed printers, but the reason why uv inks are

soft and hard is actually selected for the corresponding printing material itself.

For example, hard materials such as metal, glass, wood, and ceramics need to

use hard uv inks if they are printed with a uv flatbed printer. And some soft

mobile phone cases, leather non-woven bags, etc. need to use soft ink, because

these materials are soft in themselves. If you use hard ink to print, when

the product is folded, stretched and extended Sometimes, the pattern printed

on it will crack in the process, or even fall off in large pieces. And if you use

special soft uvink, there will be no such problem. Soft uv inks are also perfectly

suitable for printing rigid products. But the price of soft ink is higher than

that of hard ink. This will lead to an increase in production costs. Therefore,

it is recommended that when purchasing uv ink, you must choose the correct

and suitable uv ink according to your needs.
