The UVDTF ink that is engineered for use in the Uninet™ UV DTF 3000 and can be used in Epson based UV engines is best suited for hard substrates. It has excellent scratch resistance and adhesion to a variety of thermoplastic products such as PET, PIE or Polyurethane (PUR) and much more. Colors are vibrant and bright. It is engineered to be durable and intense in color output, making it the best choice for UV substrate printing and for UVDTF printing as well.
The unique characteristics of this ink are a result of innovative ink formulation techniques including encapsulated resin + nano-pigment technology and zirconium cut dispersion processes that ensure a picoliter size that is smaller than other UV inks on the market (thereby less likely to clog) while still balancing the right amounts of pigments to ensure a vibrant print. This is not a "clog free" ink, maintenance is still required as usual with any UV ink process.
The UV ink we offer is a waterproof ink, distinct from water or oil-based varieties. UV curing inks are uniquely formulated to stay liquid until cured by intense UV light, which cross-links the ink components into a durable polymer. These inks comprise four main components: monomers, oligomers, pigments, and photoinitiators. This composition ensures a robust and resilient finish, ideal for various applications. The curing process provides excellent adhesion, scratch resistance, and vibrant colors, making UV inks a superior choice for high-quality, long-lasting prints.
UV inks are 99.5% VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) free, unlike conventional inks making it more environmentally friendly.
-UV Inks cure almost instantaneously unlike conventional inks…
-No additional dry time is needed and job can go straight to finishing.
-UV Inks are more resistant to scratching, smudging, scuffing and rubbing.
-Unlike conventional inks, UV inks allow us the ability to print on a variety of substrates (Almost anything).
-UV inks increase special effect capabilities.
-They cure instantly, very few harmful VOC’s are released into the environment. This also means a safer work environment around.
UV inks cure with light not air - UV inks are specially formulated to cure when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light instead of oxidation (air). These unique inks dry much faster, resulting in sharper and more vibrant images than regular conventional inks.
