Is it suitable to use ordinary ink for uv flatbed printer?
The working principle of UV flatbed printer can be understood as the purpose of ink
curing by irradiating UV ink with UV lamp. Many people who are interested in
understanding UV flatbed printers have asked whether ordinary ink can be used
instead of UV ink. From a professional point of view, this is completely unfeasible.
The reason why UV flatbed printers can cure UV ink. The reason is that the ultraviolet
rays emitted by the UV lamp react with the UV molecules in the UV ink, which causes
the UV ink to shrink and solidify, thereby completing the curing. Different UV inks
require different UV lamps. For example, the ink used in commercial printheads needs to
be equipped with a UV lamp with a wavelength of 3.95nm. The ink used in the Ricoh
nozzle machine needs to be equipped with a UV lamp with a wavelength of 4.95nm.

If there is no uv lamp, it will lead to poor curing of UV ink, and in actual printing
production, it is often encountered that after UV ink is irradiated by ultraviolet lamp,
the surface of the ink has been cured, but the inside is not completely cured.
The UV ink that is not fully cured has a weak bonding force with the film material,
and it is easy to tear off from the surface of the material during the tape test.
