What kind of uv ink to choose for different materials?

   After years of technological development, UV flatbed printers can be well applied

to many products, and different materials can be used to print surface patterns.

Each material also has its own different characteristics, some are hard and some are

flexible. According to the different characteristics of each material, different matching

inks are also developed for printing.

   We know that the biggest difference between soft ink and hard ink is that soft ink

has stronger pressure resistance and ductility. It will adhere to the soft material and

can follow the twist and fold of the material itself to produce slight changes without

breaking. Phenomenon. Hard inks have better adhesion to harder materials, but the

opposite effect will occur when applied to soft materials. Printing on common acrylic

boards and ceramic tiles can be done with hard ink. This type of material does not

require bending. Hard ink can basically meet the needs as long as it can be well

attached to the surface of the object. In the face of some soft plastic film, leather

and the like.

   When printing with ordinary hard ink, the material itself will become harder and

the original characteristics of the material will be changed. Moreover, the original

printed material is soft, and the pattern printed with hard ink will crack as the object

deforms, and the printing effect will be much inferior. Some people think that

it is enough to use soft ink directly. Although the performance of soft ink is better,

the corresponding cost is more expensive, and cost input and output also need to

be considered in production. You only need to understand the characteristics of

the object and the pattern effect that needs to be printed, and you can easily

choose whether to use hard ink or soft ink.
