Advantages and Disadvantages of UV Inks
UV ink is a type of ink that is dried or cured using ultraviolet lights. It was introduced in the early 1970s but became popular in the early 2000s. According to industry experts, UV inks significantly improve efficiency, production cost, and output quality. Specially designed UV lights cure and dry the ink as it is distributed by the printer on the material (known as the "substrate"). Because UV lights can instantly cure any printed ink, dots of wet ink do not spread out when printed, resulting in higher-quality printed material. Furthermore, UV-cured inks resist temperature changes and have a higher fading resistance. According to experts, this curing process is more environmentally friendly because it emits less odor and heat. Furthermore, UV printing enables flatbed printers to be used with non-traditional materials such as acrylic or aluminum. What are the advantages of UV-curable ink?
