  • The Influence of pH Value of UV Flexographic Ink on Printing Quality

    The Impact of pH Value on Print Quality in UV Flexographic Inks In UV flexographic printing technology, the pH value of the ink is a critical quality control parameter. Variations in pH not only directly affect the physical properties of the ink but also profoundly influence print quality, equipment lifespan, and production efficiency. I. Overview…

  • UV ink curing methods

    The curing method of UV inks typically relies on the exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, which initiates a photochemical reaction in the ink’s photoinitiator to generate radicals, subsequently triggering crosslinking reactions among monomers and oligomers in the ink to form a solid film. Specific methods for UV ink curing primarily include mercury lamp curing, LED…

  • UV ink 5 benefits

    UV inks, as a crucial component of modern printing technology, are increasingly utilized in various printing fields due to their unique curing mechanism and exceptional performance. Compared to traditional solvent-based and water-based inks, UV inks offer the following five major advantages: ConclusionUV inks, with their rapid curing, environmental friendliness, exceptional durability, wide applicability, and energy-saving…

  • UV ink drying process

    The drying process of UV inks differs from traditional solvent-based or water-based inks, as it relies on ultraviolet (UV) light for curing rather than drying through solvent evaporation or water absorption. Therefore, the drying process of UV inks is also known as “UV curing” or “ultraviolet light curing,” which is one of its main advantages.…

  • 5 Key Techniques to Enhance the Curing Quality of UV Flexographic Ink

    The curing of UV flexographic ink is a core aspect of ensuring print quality, directly impacting the vividness of colors, adhesion, scratch resistance, and environmental friendliness of printed materials. Compared to traditional solvent-based inks, UV-curing inks offer faster curing speeds and higher production efficiency. However, to achieve optimal curing quality for UV flexographic inks, several…

  • Detailed Production Process of UV Flexographic Ink

    Flexographic printing is emerging as a key technology in the packaging printing market due to its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and excellent print quality. Among them, UV flexographic ink, an eco-friendly ink that cures through ultraviolet (UV) light, is increasingly favored by printing enterprises.
