Understanding how UV printing works
While conventional printing enables the ink to dry naturally on the paper, UV printing has its unique process. First off, UV inks are used rather than conventional solvent-based inks. Also known as UV RIP printing, UV printing is a printing method that utilizes UV curing ink to print on various materials. This extremely versatile printing process is quick, efficient and extremely effective. UV printing is a digital printing type where UV lights are used to cure ink as it is printed onto the surface. Rather than conventional, solvent-based inks, UV printing utilizes UV inks. As the printer distributes ink on the surface of the printed material, a UV light follows close behind, curing the ink right away. This instant curing means that dots of wet ink do not have the chance to spread once printed, providing much finer attention to detail. Following are the technology used in UV printing: UV inks are typically flexible, enabling them to print curved lines or onto elastic materials. Duri
