Ink printing with ultraviolet led lamp that dries the ink immediately. This type of printing has the advantage of speeding up production times compared to common types of printing such as pad printing and sublimation.
The advantages of UV LED printing are as follows:
- high quality and no limit of coloring
- print on objects of any size, even very small
- reduction of printing times due to immediate drying
- possibility of producing small units
- printing applicable on various types of material: wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, etc ...
Technology
UV ink contains elements, called photo-initialisers or photoionizers: when these are exposed to the UV light of the printer's lamps, they activate a process of the ink called "curing" or "crosslinking"; its molecules therefore tend to group and solidify, at the same time the liquid component evaporates, always under the effect of UV light. The color rendering of a UV print is usually very high. The UV ink also allows you to print on many materials and then have beautiful polishing or embossed effects. This feature makes UV printing perfect for the production of panels of different materials, smooth surfaces or details that cannot be printed with other technologies. UV printing is also used for the creation of labels, fabrics, labels, classic stickers and proofing or for the personalization of objects and gadgets.
Relief graphics
The special transparent UV inks allow you to print in relief with three-dimensional textures and effects. This type of embossing can be used in interior design, art, visual communication and in promotional. The special ink also allows you to create glossy effects to bring out some print areas.
