Progress with UV printing technology as the core

The printing industry has been stirred up by waves of UV printing technology. All products are trying to use UV printing technology to improve their status. There is no doubt that the entire printing industry is undergoing a development centered on UV printing technology.

However, in this developmental war, how heavy is the power of consumables? How much attention has the rise of domestic consumable manufacturers received?

Old manufacturers are still standing in the market, and new ones stand out. We are trying to find out in all kinds of UV printing consumables production enterprises, who can promote the development of UV printing consumables technology? Who can bring new elements to the rapid development of the UV printing consumables industry?

In the competition with foreign products, the demand for "advancedness" has always been the most basic factor for domestic enterprises to continuously pursue progress. These basic factors have formed a new batch of UV printing consumables in China in this era of innovation as the main line ...

The market develops at a high speed In the late 1980s, UV ink was introduced to China just to print a small card-on these hard printing materials that do not absorb ink, proceed quickly. At that time, we only knew that this UV printing technology brought us only fast drying, which is very suitable for hard printing materials. And now, the UV printing technology with millions of users is constantly expanding: it helps users improve efficiency and reduce costs; UV printing printing short version is flexible, high efficiency, high efficiency, is any other printing technology Compared with ordinary inks, UV inks have no VOC pollution; in addition, UV printing can be applied in different fields, both liquid UV inks and hybrid UV inks; in terms of adhesion of the printing material surface, UV The ink is better than ordinary ink, and it is more flexible, and can be cured offline after the image is printed, without affecting the image quality. UV printing is moving into new areas.

Like the thriving UV printing, UV printing consumables also play high-profile notes.

Since previous years, UV printing has begun to play an increasingly important role in promoting product sales. During this time, the sales of printing plants applying UV printing technology have almost tripled, leaving competitors in the traditional offset printing market unmatched. According to the prediction of European equipment manufacturers: the annual growth rate of UV printing models will reach 7%, the annual growth rate of UV curing devices will reach 10%, and the fastest growth rate of UV inks and varnishes will reach 14%.

The world's demand for UV printing is rising. According to the statistics of the largest ink manufacturer in the United States, the annual consumption of UV ink and varnish in the local market has increased by about 15%. This number is almost 10 times the annual growth rate of ink consumables in the traditional offset printing market. Once mixed ink was once seen as a flash in the pan, but now it is more and more respected by the market.

Compared with the situation where the development of UV printing consumables in the world has stabilized, the Chinese market is on the cusp of development.

Higher quality requirements are different from ordinary printing. When printing with UV ink, the ink roller, blanket, fountain solution, etc. must be UV-specific, because UV ink will damage the ordinary ink roller or blanket, and ordinary fountain solution cannot Match with UV ink.

Mixed UV ink can use the original ink roller and blanket, because of the UV ink component, it is impossible to damage the ink roller, but the printing can be carried out normally. When using pure UV ink, the UV lamp must be installed after each unit. To use the mixed ink, only need to set it at the position after the four colors are printed. ? "The field of UV printing technology will continue to develop in the future. Analysis of the development trend shows that UV printing technology is one of the future growth points of the printing industry."

The new forces of UV printing consumables set a UV lamp, and set 3 UV lamps after the coating process. When using mixed ink, the next color can be printed (wet pressure wet) before the previous color is dry. After the ink of all colors is printed, the UV lamp is used for curing.

Based on the above factors, the UV printing technology has also put forward higher requirements for related supporting products.

It is difficult to find domestic products. If you let you list the brands of UV printing consumables, you may have countless answers, ranging from inks, varnishes, to accessories, cleaning (detailed introduction of high-pressure jet cleaning machine), no one can deny As with UV printing technology, the current production status of most UV printing consumables manufacturers is on a large scale, and the UV printing consumables market seems to show steady growth and tend to be mature and stable. So, is this true? After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that from UV ink manufacturers, such as Tianjin Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., Hanghua Ink Chemical Co., Ltd. and other well-known domestic manufacturers, their UV products have added "joint venture" ingredients to blanket manufacturers such as Shanghai Meiji Rubber Products Co., Ltd. and other well-known blanket manufacturers, the main technical content and production processes are occupied by the joint venture company. UV printing consumable products are almost monopolized by foreign or joint venture brands. Not only are there few domestic manufacturers, but the products can only hover at the low-end level.

Raw material problems To print a good UV print, what support do we need?

High-end inks, high-end varnishes, high-end rubber rollers and blankets, and even high-end UV printing equipment, and the backing of high-end products rely on imports.

There is no doubt that the core technology of UV printing consumables lies in the supply of raw materials. The core material of UV ink is: oligomer, also known as prepolymer, is a film-forming substance, its performance plays an important role in the curing process and the properties of the cured film; reactive diluent, also known as cross-linking monomer, is A functional monomer whose role is to adjust the viscosity, curing speed and properties of the cured film; a photoinitiator that absorbs radiant energy and undergoes chemical changes to produce a reactive intermediate that has the ability to initiate polymerization, is any UV curing system The main ingredients required; additives, mainly used to improve the performance of the ink. The supply of these core materials is still mainly imported in high-end products.

In terms of rubber rollers and blankets, because UV inks have a certain degree of corrosion, the products must have high corrosion resistance. Obviously, in the immature China rubber rollers and blankets industry, our enterprises are still difficult to find a solution The breakthrough point of the problem. Because in the production, the choice of rubber compound is very important, and most domestic enterprises with a certain scale still rely on quantity to win, and the supply of rubber compound is a bottleneck.

 Honeycomb Blinds

Honeycomb Blinds also called Cellular Shades. window covering used to block or filter light and insulate windows to save energy. Cell size can vary. Cell shapes hold trapped air and create a barrier between the window surface and the a room. we have different fabric style provide to you choose, you can choose half light shading style, also can choose full light shading style Cellular Shades.
