UV printers can use various inks, such as UV inks, eco-solvent inks, etc. Among them, the special composition of weak solvent ink does not need to be sprayed on the printing material, and the ink volatilization speed is fast. UV printers with Epson nozzles use water-based inks. Although the image accuracy is very high, they cannot be used for outdoor large-format printing, so it is necessary to use eco-solvent inks. Do you know what are the uses of eco-solvent inks? The following editor will share with you a specific application method of eco-solvent ink, let’s take a look at it together.
When a UV printer prints with eco-solvent ink, the ink and the medium first expand and then fuse during the synthesis process, and the colorant in the ink and the material are tightly bound, so the eco-solvent ink does not require a coating medium. Epson’s high-precision print head is made of eco-solvent ink, with high picture accuracy and UV resistance, suitable for outdoor large-format advertising printing, and is quickly welcomed by the market.
Although eco-solvent inks have many improvements over solvent inks, eco-solvent inks are always solvent inks, so some of the properties of solvent inks are still present. If the ink dries quickly, the main component is still organic solvent. According to the fast drying characteristics of eco-solvent ink, it is more important to choose which printing machine. Many users of UV printers in the market are using eco-solvent inks because they are less picky about inks with piezoelectric printheads.
Since the main component of weak solvent ink is organic solvent, it has more corrosion and chemical reaction than ordinary ink, which will corrode the print head and reduce the service life of the print head. Therefore, use as little eco-solvent ink as possible. If you use eco-solvent inks for a long time, do a full inspection of the nozzles before use to see if the nozzles are smooth.
Due to some characteristics of eco-solvent ink itself, if using eco-solvent ink, special care should be taken when selecting continuous supply. If the selected continuous supply is not suitable, ink leakage from the ink cartridges, clogged nozzles, print disconnection, etc. may occur. When using eco-solvent ink, you should also choose to fill the ink cartridge to determine whether it is suitable for filling the eco-solvent ink.
In addition, UV printers can reduce some links when using eco-solvent ink, directly use the filling ink cartridge, if the printing effect is good, continue to use; if there is a problem, stop using it immediately, take out the filling ink cartridge of eco-solvent ink, and manually clean the nozzle , then put it back into the original continuous supply of ink.
