What is the difference between UV ink printers and Eco-solvent ink printers?

   

    Depending on the different inks used by the printer, the printer is divided into many types, sublimation printers, Eco-solvent printers, UV printers, etc.The application range of the printer is also different.What is the difference between a UV printer and a Eco-solvent printer that people often use?
    When a flatbed printer first appeared, the ink we used was called a Eco-solvent ink. The Eco-solvent ink has some special characteristics such as non-corrosive, non-toxic, light taste. In addition, images printed by Eco-solvent ink printers have vivid colors. The Eco-solvent ink printer can make printing simple and smooth. In addition, not only Eco-solvent ink printers have a stable overall performance, but also weak solvent ink printers have a longer retention time.
    Eco-solvent ink printers use high quality imported raw materials, while Eco-solvent inks require scientific formulas. Therefore, not only its physical parameters can meet international requirements, but its chemical parameters can also meet international standards.
   

    As for pigment, the diameter of the particles is significantly less than 1 micron, and there is no volatile organic solvent in the UV ink. Moreover, UV inks not only have ultra-low viscosity characteristics, but also have the characteristic of non-irritating odors. And we can be sure that nozzle clogging will not occur during printing. At the same time, there will be no abnormal phenomenon, which may include pigment aggregation, pigment sinking and pigment layer.Compared with printing with UV inks, the texture of the printed material almost requires coating treatment when we print inks with weak solvent inks. This may be because we need to damage the texture of the material's surface structure to enhance adhesion.

    In contrast, when we use UV inks to print on PVC panels, glass or telephone cases, we do not need to perform coating remedies. All we have to do before printing is to make the material clean. However, if we print on metals, tiles, and other materials, we may need to perform a simple coating process. In other words, high-quality UV printers also have some advantages.
     Therefore, according to these characteristics and differences, it is more appropriate to select printers based on consumables.If you need some help about digital printing,please feel free to contact us,we'd love to share it with you.
