In the rapid development of industrial inks, UV light-curable inks are widely used in the field of ink printing due to their advantages of no solvent, no pollution, and fast drying. UV light curing technology was first used in screen printing, iron printing, hose, tape measure printing and other fields, and it has also achieved excellent results in flexographic printing. After more than ten years of development, UV ink curing has been maturely used in paper printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, screen printing, color printing, thermal transfer printing and other fields. What are the advantages of UV offset light curing technology in the field of ink curing?
No pollution in the environment
In the ink printing industry, in order to improve the efficiency of ink printing, the infrared thermal radiation drying method is usually used. At this time, volatile solvents need to be added to the ink. Employees who are in this environment for a long time will have a huge impact on their health. However, changing the infrared curing method to UV light curing will not only cause no pollution to the environment, but also affect the health and production of employees, greatly improving the working environment of employees.
Fast curing speed and high work efficiency
The surface of the product is covered with ink, and after being irradiated with UV light, it can be dried in a few seconds without the need for powder spraying and other operations. The printed paper can be folded immediately, and the ink will not be smudged, which is beneficial to the production qualification rate of the product and improves the production efficiency.
Improve color saturation and gloss in prints
Using UV light curing technology, no powder spraying link, effectively improve the gloss of printed products, greatly improve product quality, product color saturation, gorgeous gloss, can match with matting background color, improve product visual impact, highlight high-quality products image. At the same time, the use of UV light curing technology does not cause shrinkage to the ink, making it the preferred curing method for modern color printing.
Wear-resistant, waterproof and solvent-resistant
UV ink printing or UV varnishing printing has the water resistance and solvent resistance of other water-based inks and solvent inks, and can also improve the wear resistance of printed matter.
Wide range of applications
UV ink printing can carry a variety of material printing methods, such as ordinary paper, cloth, cardboard, plastic, PVC, PE, metal materials, furniture, ceramic tiles, mobile phone accessories, etc. can use UV ink printing. The ink film produced by UV ink curing has better scratch resistance, friction resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, ethanol resistance and other properties than ordinary inks.
UV light curing low energy consumption, good quality
Compared with traditional large-scale thermosetting equipment, UV light curing equipment can save a lot of power and site footprint.
