In the field of food packaging printing, UV flexo inks, as a green, eco-friendly, and energy-efficient printing material, are gradually replacing traditional inks and becoming the mainstream choice for food packaging printing.

These patterns not only enhance the visual appeal of the product but also bring a delightful experience psychologically. So, how are the patterns on diapers printed? The answer lies in the use of water-based ink for printing.

DTF (Direct to Film) printing utilizes specialized DTF inks. These inks are designed to be printed directly onto a specialized DTF film and then transferred onto the target fabric using a heat press. Here are some key points about DTF inks:

UV (ultraviolet light curing) ink is a type of ink that polymerizes monomers into polymers through different wavelengths and energies of ultraviolet light under ultraviolet irradiation, thereby achieving ink film formation and drying. It has been widely used in the printing field due to its advantages such as fast drying speed, good gloss, bright colors, water resistance, solvent resistance, and good wear resistance. However, the curing time of UV ink under fluorescent lamps is a relatively complex issue that requires further exploration.

Flexographic printing, with its unique advantages such as low cost, strong adaptability, and environmental friendliness, occupies an important position in packaging printing, label printing, and other fields. However, in the pursuit of high-quality printing effects, flexographic printing also faces many challenges, one of which is the Moire Effect.

In today's era of increasing environmental awareness, various industries are actively seeking sustainable development paths, and the printing industry is no exception. As people's attention to environmental protection and health deepens, water-based ink, as an environmentally friendly printing material, is gradually becoming the new favorite of the printing industry, leading the future trend of green printing.

The difference between gravure printing and flexographic printing. These two printing methods differ in terms of principles, application areas, and printing effects.

Gravure Printing

principle

Plate making process: The plate for gravure printing is usually made of metal (such as copper or steel), and fine grooves are formed on the surface of the plate through chemical etching or laser engraving, which form the printing pattern.
