Frequent cleaning of the heads will prevent this from occurring. Because solvent ink air dries, ink as the ability to dry within the printing heads, clogging the machine and causing your design to print wrong. Unlike UV ink, solvent ink cures with either air or heat application. Solvent ink is comprised of a fluid (water or liquid base), pigment (color), and a resin (adherent), which results in a durable, long lasting ink. One of the most commonly used inks in the printing industry is solvent ink. At EH Teasley & Companies, we use UV ink when printing on our vinyl banners, aluminum signs, rigid plastic signs, clear window decals, and most every other product we offer. Instant curing of the ink allows for printing on a variety of surfaces. Heat sensitive materials also benefit from the UV drying, as UV light does not give off heat during the printing process. White ink can be printed using UV ink, which helps colors stick out on darker or clear materials. This ink has the ability to print in true color, meaning that colors can be matched using a standard set of Pantone colors. UV ink is a more eco-friendly prodcut and does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC). UV ink is also scratch, abrasion, and weather resistant. Colors can also become faded or not as true when absorbed or evaporated into the air, which UV ink prevents from occurring. Due to surface curing, ink will have a matte appearance and a slight texture to it. Instead of being absorbed into the material, which occurs when inks are heat or air dried, UV ink cures on the surface. The vibrancy of the ink is achieved due to the instant curing of the ink as soon as it is printed on a material.
UV (ultraviolet) ink, which is implemented in UV printing, results in a crystal clear printed design. Modern technology has provided the printing industry with a state of the art printing process that allows for vibrant ink to cure instantly on virtually any substrate (the surface or material). We’ll give you an overview of two types of ink: UV and solvent, explaining how each are used and why we choose to implement UV inks in producing your custom signage. What do we use? The majority of our signs are printed using UV ink, which produces high quality and permanent designs.
Powder based inks, also known as toner, are used in consumer and industrial laser printers. The solid or paste inks are typically found in industrial UV printers. You’re most likely familiar with the liquid form of ink, which is found in pens and consumer-based inkjet printers.
Ink is more complex than it may seem inks come in either a solid, powder, or aqueous (liquid) form. To assist in fulfilling your design desires, we incorporate specialized ink to create visually stunning signs. Giving your sign a lasting, eye-catching design is a top priority for us at EH Teasley & Companies. The Difference Is In the Detail (and Details)
