The color of the ink and the thickness of the ink layer will greatly affect the curing result.

The darker the ink or the opaque ink, the harder it is for uv energy to pass through, and the

worse the curing result will be. Generally speaking, uv printers are usually four-color, and

industrial equipment standards are six-color and eight-color. uv printers have the advantages of

printing from one sheet, no need for plate making, full-color image printing once completed,

and instant printing. In order to print quality, is there any way to adjust

the thickness of uv printer uv ink?

Ink pigment content, experimental research shows that generally for a certain color ink,

the higher the ink pigment content, the slower the curing speed. This is because the pigment

content is high, the light transmittance of the ink will decrease, thereby reducing the light

curing speed, but the red pigment is slightly different. Since the red pigment has a certain

sensitization effect, as the content of the red pigment increases, the curing speed of the ink

first increases and then decreases. Adjust the thickness of uv printer ink to increase

the curing speed of uv ink.

The way to change the ink thickness: set the percentage of inkjet volume in the printing

software, and you can also set the number of printing times, so as to change the thickness of

the ink. The advantage of doing this is that ink can be saved on the one hand, and the quality of

printing can be improved on the other hand. It should be noted that the thickness of the ink

set by the uv printer is not the thicker the better. Similarly, if the setting is unreasonable,

it will affect the quality of the printed color.

The uv printer further sets the thickness of the ink, and an auxiliary function is the percentage of

feathering. Usually it is between 0%-200%. If the pattern printed by the system is more delicate

and the color is richer, you need to register the feathering function. The larger the value,

the better the printing effect. Similarly, it will also reduce the production. The speed and details

should be determined according to the actual needs of users.
