Date: Dec 08 2023 From: Star Color
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous development of printing technology, UV water-based ink is more and more widely used in the printing industry.UV water-based ink, as an environmentally friendly and efficient printing ink, plays an important role in the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines.This paper will discuss the use of UV water-based ink in the printing of picture albums, magazines and other books, in order to provide a reference for technicians in related fields.
Characteristics of UV water-based ink
1.environmental protection property：UV water-based ink uses water as solvent, does not contain harmful substances such as organic solvents and heavy metals, and has the advantages of non-toxic, tasteless, environmental protection,etc.During the printing process, UV water-based inks do not produce harmful gases, reducing the impact on the environment and operators.
2.color stability：UV water-based inks have high color stability and can provide good printing results.In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, UV water-based inks can present rich colors and high definition images to meet people's needs for high-quality printing.
3.Strong adhesion：UV water-based ink has strong adhesion and can be firmly attached to the substrate, which is not easy to fall off and fade.In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, UV water-based inks can maintain the long-term beauty and durability of printed matter.
4.Fast drying speed：UV water-based ink dries and cures quickly under ultraviolet irradiation, which improves printing efficiency.In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, the rapid drying characteristics of UV water-based inks can reduce the production cycle and improve production efficiency.
5.economical efficiency：Although the unit price of UV water-based ink is relatively high, it has the advantages of high printing efficiency and long service life, which can reduce the overall cost.In addition, the recycling of UV water-based ink also has a high economy.In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, taking into account factors such as production costs and sustainable development, UV water-based ink has a certain market competitiveness.
The use of UV water-based ink in the printing of picture albums, magazines and other books
1.Printing process flow：In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, the printing process of UV water-based ink includes the following steps:Preparation, printing, drying, post-processing, etc.Among them, the preparation includes checking the printing equipment, determining the substrate and selecting the appropriate UV water-based ink;The printing process needs to pay attention to factors such as printing pressure, ink volume and printing speed;The drying step requires the use of ultraviolet drying equipment to dry the printed matter;Post-processing includes post-press processing, quality inspection，etc.
2.Printing skills:In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, the use of UV water-based ink needs to pay attention to the following tips：
Select the right printing stock:Different materials of the substrate on UV water-based ink adsorption performance and drying effect is different, choose the right substrate is the key to ensure the printing quality.Common substrates include paper, plastic, cloth, etc., and appropriate materials need to be selected according to different needs.
Control printing pressure:The size of the printing pressure directly affects the adhesion and printing effect of UV water-based ink.During the printing process, the printing pressure needs to be adjusted according to factors such as the material and thickness of the substrate to ensure that the ink can be evenly distributed on the substrate.
Control ink：The amount of UV water-based ink directly affects the color and clarity of the printed matter.In the printing process, the amount of ink needs to be adjusted according to the requirements of the printing effect and the material of the substrate, to ensure that the printed matter is colorful and has high clarity.
Control printing speed：Printing speed is too fast or too slow may affect the adhesion and printing effect of UV water-based ink.In the printing process, the printing speed needs to be adjusted according to the material and thickness of the substrate and other factors to ensure that the ink can be fully dried and cured.
3.Drying equipment selection：In the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines, choosing the right drying equipment is the key to ensure the drying effect of UV water-based ink.Common drying equipment includes ultraviolet drying equipment, infrared drying equipment and hot air drying equipment.Need to choose the appropriate drying equipment according to different needs.For example, ultraviolet drying equipment has the advantages of fast drying speed and low energy consumption, which is suitable for the printing of books such as picture albums and magazines；The infrared drying equipment has the advantages of uniform heating, no damage to the substrate, etc., which is suitable for the book printing of plastic, cloth and other substrates；Hot air drying equipment has the advantages of uniform drying, no damage to the substrate, etc., suitable for large area or thick paper book printing.
4.post processing：In the printing of picture albums, magazines and other books, post-processing is a key step to ensure the quality and beauty of printed matter.The post-processing includes cutting, binding, laminating，etc.In the process of cutting, attention should be paid to the control of cutting precision and quality;In the binding process, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of binding methods and quality control；In the process of film coating, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of appropriate film materials and quality control.Through reasonable post-processing can make the printed matter more beautiful and reliable quality.
