The difference between UV ink, solvent-type ink, and water-based ink!
uv ink has three characteristics: energy-saving drying, a wide range of
printing suitability for the substrate (can be printed on almost all materials),
fast curing can shorten the subsequent process time. However, the price of
uv ink is higher than that of solvent-type ink, and the cost is higher, which
directly affects the printing cost of uv printing equipment. From the perspective of
environmental protection and bearing adaptability, uv ink will be the
mainstream of the large-scale color market in the future.
The difference between UV ink, solvent-type ink, and water-based ink!
In the field of inkjet, solvent-type ink can adapt to a variety of bearing materials,
and the price of bearing materials used is relatively cheap. In particular,
the outdoor images have better durability, and its price is lower than
the water-based ink, and it does not need to cover the film, improve
the production efficiency. However, the disadvantage of the solvent-based
ink is that it emits harmful substances into the air through the evaporation of
the solvent during the drying process, affecting the indoor and outdoor air quality.
Water-based ink mainly takes water as a solvent, and has the advantages of stable
ink color, high brightness, strong coloring force, strong post-press adhesion, adjustable
drying speed, strong water resistance and so on. However, the current water-based ink
still has certain technical limitations, the water-based ink is not anti-alkali,
not anti-ethanol and water, and the drying is slow.
The difference between UV ink, solvent-type ink, and water-based ink!
uv ink is more widely used, uv ink pigment particle diameter is less than 1 micron,
contains no volatile organic solvents, ultra-low viscosity, no irritating odor, can ensure
that the ink in the injection printing process without plugging nozzle phenomenon.
Because the uv ink can be used together with the white ink, printing out some beautiful
relief effect, while the eco solvent ink can not be mixed with the white ink, so there is
no way to print out the relief effect. In addition, because the solvent ink in the printing of
a lot of materials need to do coating treatment, and UV ink can be directly used to print
a lot of materials, metal, glass, ceramics, PC, PVC, ABS and other materials, do not need
to do any coating treatment, simple, convenient, practical.
