Introduction of UV printer consumables

UV printers are different from traditional printers, the UV printer is equipped with a UV lamp, which can make the printed pattern dry immediately and be used immediately.

This feature makes both production and sampling very convenient. Its personalized production mode also brings unprecedented convenience to the processing industry.

UV printers require different inks and other consumables for different products that need to be printed.

Let’s take a look at the difference below!

UV printer ink classification:

Commonly used UV machine inks on the market are divided into three types: hard, soft, and neutral. For flat hard materials printed by UV flatbed machines, such as acrylic, glass, metal plates, etc., hard ink or neutral ink is often used; Inks with different properties target different materials. If you use soft ink when printing on flat rigid materials, the adhesion will be weakened and the printing effect will be affected.

UV printer coating classification:

Commonly used coatings on the market include: ABS coating, metal coating, silicone coating, glass coating, leather coating, and PC coating.

There are many kinds of ABS coatings, which are suitable for wood boards, kraft paper, PVC, ABS, gypsum board, acrylic, plastic, etc. They are available in transparent and white colors, and can produce both glossy and matte effects.

Glass coating: suitable for ceramic tiles, plexiglass, tempered glass, ceramics, and crystal, but special treatment is required. It is available in two colors: transparent and white, and both can have gloss or matte effects.

Leather coating is suitable for PVC leather, genuine leather, leather, PU leather, etc. It comes in two colors: transparent and white, both of which can produce glossy and matte effects. 

PC coating：PC is a hard material, and in most cases the adhesion is not good enough. Suitable for PS, PP, PVC and other materials starting with P. 

Nowadays, the traditional printing industry is constantly innovating driven by technology, and UV inkjet technology is a typical representative of the global printing industry. UV printers have become a necessity in a wide range of industries. UV printers are suitable for almost all flat materials and are widely used in the advertising industry, building materials and decoration industry, handicraft industry, and digital product industry. The development prospects are very broad.
