If a printing house hasn't mentioned UV ink with you so far, it will not be far from the day of failure.
The reason why we say that if a printing house hasn't mentioned UV ink with you so far, it is not far from the day when it closed down, it is because the printing house can get a lot of tangible benefits through UV printing. For example: shorter production cycle (UV ink takes only a few seconds to dry on the press) and a more environmentally friendly production method (UV ink does not use solvents and emits less harmful gases than traditional inks). Although these advantages of UV inks exist objectively, this does not mean that you can use UV inks on any job.
UV inks can benefit printing houses
UV ink is completely different from the ink used in the traditional printing process. It is a two-state substance: it is in a liquid state before being exposed to UV light, and it will become a solid state after the device. The printing method of this ink is the same as the traditional ink, but it can be dried instantly under the illumination of the light on the printing machine.
Because the UV ink can be dried while the printed sheet is visible, this kind of printed sheet can immediately enter the next production link with just one press. If you use traditional inks, the printing house must let the ink dry completely, which means that the printed pages are often placed overnight, so the use of UV inks allows the printing house to complete more work in a shorter time.
Traditional printing inks generally contain chemical solvents-some inks even contain 70% of chemical solvents. As traditional inks dry, the solvent evaporates and emits VOC (volatile organic compounds) into the atmosphere.
These compounds can cause serious harm to the environment, and some regions have passed laws that limit VOC emissions and the maximum VOC content in products. If a printing factory allows solvent-based ink to completely disappear in its own factory, it can reduce the environmental damage of printing production and meet the requirements of local laws and regulations.
UV inks can benefit printing buyers
In addition to printing houses, printing buyers and designers can also benefit from the use of UV inks. The following conditions can help you judge whether a job is suitable for using UV ink.
It is an urgent job. Because UV inks can dry quickly, you can complete orders in less time than traditional inks.
You are using uncoated paper and want to get clear text and images. Traditional ink will penetrate into uncoated paper, but UV ink can dry in a few seconds, so it has no time to penetrate into the paper. Regardless of whether traditional inks or UV inks are used, printers must assume responsibility for the expansion of control outlets, so you need to let them know that you want to see clear content on the final product.
You are using uncoated paper and want to get a smooth effect like satin. UV ink allows you to get the same printing effect as on coated paper.
You want to control the amount of stains and abrasion. Because UV inks can quickly dry on printing presses, they have stronger stain and abrasion resistance than traditional inks.
This may sound good, but is it true? The answer I gave is: Eight or nine is not separated from ten. In fact, the proportion of ink in the production cost of a job is not large, but if UV ink is used for printing, the printing house must choose different blankets, cylinders, inks and coating materials for the printing machine.
If you are interested in UV inks, you should discuss the difference in cost between using UV inks and traditional inks with the printing house before making a final decision.
UV coating
You can apply UV coating to the entire page or parts of the page.
The coating liquid is a transparent substance, and it can reflect the same as UV ink under the irradiation of UV light-its curing speed is also very fast. Mark Latunski, a chemist and project leader of Flint Group North America, explained why people are willing to adopt this post-processing method. He said: "UV coating can immediately bring high-gloss effects to printed products."
He added that if UV coating is applied on traditional inks and the printing house can spend a day or two after the printing is complete and waits for the ink to dry completely, then you can get the best processing results. On the contrary, the UV coating will appear uneven, because the traditional ink that has not been completely dried will continue to dry under the coating.
In addition, the UV coating can also add a protective layer to the printed matter without increasing the thickness of the printed matter or reducing the elasticity, so as to protect it from wear. If you want to apply UV coating on traditional inks, you need to prepare more time and ensure that your own printing plant has the same sufficient time.
to sum up
UV can not only help you get the dream printing effect, but also save you time and provide an extra layer of protection for the printed matter. However, you have to calculate the printing cost of each job and make the right choice between traditional and UV inks. In addition, if you want to apply UV coating on traditional inks, you also need to consider whether there is enough time.
