In the process of sticker printing, the ink often dries poorly or too fast, which not only reduces the printing quality, but also affects the production efficiency. If you want to deal with these problems, you need to find out the reasons before you can find solutions.
In the process of sticker printing, the ink often dries poorly or too fast, which not only reduces the printing quality, but also affects the production efficiency. If you want to deal with these problems, you need to find out the reasons before you can find solutions. Let's take a look at these printing knowledge points.
Ink layer is too thick
In the process of large-area field printing, due to too much ink and too thick ink layer, the ink layer on the surface of the printed matter will be completely dry while the bottom layer is not completely dry during the drying process, which is called pseudo drying. It is easy to cause the ink layer on the surface of printed matter to fall off in the post process processing. This is because the combination fastness of the poorly dried ink bottom layer and the substrate surface is poor, which makes the ink layer scrape and fall off under the effect of friction.
Insufficient UV lamp power
The insufficient power of UV lamp is also one of the reasons for the poor drying of UV ink, which is related to the daily production operation of the enterprise, mainly in the following aspects.
Ink out of shelf life or excessive additives
In general, if the ink shelf life is exceeded, the ink may not dry properly due to the failure of photoinitiator in the ink after printing. In addition, in printing production, in order to improve the performance of the ink, it is often necessary to add additives such as ink adjusting oil and viscosity remover into the ink.
Rubber roller density is too low
In the actual production, the new equipment is more prone to bad ink drying failure. After careful inspection, it was found that the low density cots absorbed the photoinitiator in the UV ink, which led to poor ink drying.
