Date: Dec 13 2023 From: Star Color
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous development of printing technology, water-based ink is more and more widely used in the printing industry.Among them, water-based UV ink, as a kind of printing ink with both environmental protection and high efficiency, plays an important role in plastic printing.
Characteristics of water-based UV ink
1.environmental protection property：Water-based UV ink with water as a solvent, does not contain organic solvents and heavy metals and other harmful substances, with non-toxic, tasteless, environmental protection and other advantages.During the printing process, the water-based UV ink does not produce harmful gases, reducing the impact on the environment and the operator.
2.color stability：Water-based UV inks have high color stability and can provide good printing results.In plastic printing, water-based UV inks can present bright colors and high definition images to meet people's needs for high-quality printing.
3.Strong adhesion:Water-based UV ink has strong adhesion and can be firmly attached to the plastic substrate, which is not easy to fall off and fade.In plastic printing, water-based UV inks can maintain the long-term beauty and durability of the print.
4.Fast drying speed：The water-based UV ink dries and cures quickly under ultraviolet irradiation, which improves the printing efficiency.In plastic printing, the rapid drying characteristics of water-based UV inks can reduce production cycles and improve production efficiency.
5.economical efficiency：Although the unit price of water-based UV 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 water-based UV ink also has a high economy.In plastic printing, taking into account production costs and sustainable development and other factors, water-based UV ink has a certain market competitiveness.
Development status of water-based UV ink in plastic printing
In recent years, with the continuous progress of technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, water-based UV ink is more and more widely used in plastic printing.Many printing companies at home and abroad began to pay attention to the development and application of water-based UV ink to meet the market demand for environmentally friendly, efficient and high-quality prints.
At present, the application of water-based UV ink in plastic printing is mainly concentrated in the following aspects:
1.Food packaging printing:Water-based UV ink has the advantages of non-toxic, tasteless and so on, which meets the environmental protection requirements of food packaging.In food packaging printing, water-based UV ink can provide high-quality printing effects and improve the attractiveness and added value of food packaging.
2.Toy printing:Toy printing has higher requirements for color brightness and safety.Water-based UV ink has the characteristics of environmental protection, safety and so on, suitable for toy printing.In toy printing, water-based UV inks can provide high definition images and good adhesion, improving the appearance and quality of toys.
3.Electronic product printing：The printing of electronic products requires high precision and adhesion.Water-based UV ink has the advantages of high precision and high adhesion, which is suitable for printing electronic products.In the printing of electronic products, water-based UV inks can provide high-quality printing results and improve the appearance and performance of products.
The prospect of water-based UV ink in plastic printing
With the continuous progress of technology and the strengthening of environmental protection policies, the application prospect of water-based UV ink in plastic printing is very broad.In the future, water-based UV ink will have greater development in the following aspects:
1.technical innovation：In order to improve the performance of water-based UV inks and reduce costs, there will be more technological innovations in the future.For example, by studying new formulations and preparation methods, the color stability, adhesion, drying speed and other properties of water-based UV inks can be improved.At the same time, by using advanced production processes and technical equipment, the production cost and market price of water-based UV ink can be reduced.
2.Application development:As people's attention to environmental protection and health continues to increase, the application field of water-based UV ink will be further expanded.For example, in the printing of other materials such as paper and textiles, water-based UV ink will also have a wide range of application prospects.At the same time, with the continuous development of 3D printing technology, water-based UV ink will also be applied and developed in the field of 3D printing.
3.Green printing:With the popularity of green printing, the printing industry will pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development in the future.As an environmentally friendly ink, water-based UV ink meets the requirements of green printing.In the future, with the promotion and popularization of green printing, the market demand for water-based UV ink will continue to increase.
In summary, water-based UV ink, as an environmentally friendly and efficient printing ink, has a wide range of application prospects in plastic printing.In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous growth of market demand, water-based UV ink will achieve greater development in terms of technological innovation, application expansion and green printing.
