Talking about: Solvent-based ink permeability

Solvent ink is the most used ink system in the inkjet printing market

Solvent inks are primarily colored by penetrating the surface of the substrate. They are primarily developed for vinyl products and are the most used ink systems in the inkjet printing market. Solvent-based inks offer users longer life without the need for lamination, but they require heating during printing and drying. True solvent inks contain VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and require the printer to take ventilation and other air handling measures. In general, the prospects for the sale of solvent-based inks are very optimistic, except for certain areas where air quality requirements are more stringent.

Eco-friendly or low-solvent inks are inexpensive and VOC-free, eliminating the need for air handling

Eco-friendly or low-solvent inks can be used on coated or uncoated substrates. When they print on coated substrates, they can control the dot gains themselves; when they are printed on uncoated substrates, heaters/dryers are required to control the dot gain. Eco-friendly or low-solvent inks are cheaper than true solvent-based inks and contain no VOCs, eliminating the hassle of air handling. The life of this type of ink is comparable to that of solvent-based inks, and users can extend their durability by laminating.

Eco Ink has its own world in digital printing

Ecological ink using ethyl lactate is still an emerging technology, and its production of raw materials mainly comes from corn and other crops. The eco-ink needs to set the heater and dryer to a higher temperature when printing. Because the solvent extracted from the plant is used instead of the petroleum solvent, the ink is in the category of green products. If UV inks do not beat it before the eco-market launch, then it will certainly be able to create a world of digital printing.

Sublimation ink continues to grow in the niche printing market

Sublimation inks are a good choice for textile and apparel printers. This basic ink technology has not changed in recent years. When people use this type of ink, they are first printed on a sheet of transfer paper, and then the ink is converted from a solid to a gas by heat and pressure, and penetrated into the fibers of the textile. As the niche printing market continues to heat up, the use of sublimation inks will continue to grow.

UV inks will enter the field of advertising and banner printing

UV inks are always in the process of development and change, and more and more printers are beginning to adopt new UV digital printing inks. When UV-curable inks were first introduced to the market, they had certain problems in terms of fragility, adhesiveness, and curability. But with the advent of new UV inks, all problems have been solved. The new products have a higher viscosity and greater flexibility to meet the needs of roll-to-roll printers, and they have made significant advancements in color gamut and ink formulation, as compared to previous products. The new UV inks are also known as "cationic UV inks." They use cold UV light curing technology that can dry instantly without waiting 24 hours. In the days to come, these inks will enter the digital printing market, which is guarded by solvent-based inks, especially in the area of ​​body advertising and banner printing.
