How to choose PET matte silver paper inks suitable for different printing technologies?

When selecting PET matte silver paper inks suitable for different printing technologies, it is necessary to consider the various properties of the ink and the specific requirements of the printing technology. Here are some key factors and specific options:

First, consider the factors

1.Drying speed: Different printing technologies have different requirements for the drying speed of ink. For example, UV ink drying speed, suitable for high-speed printing; Water-based inks dry more slowly and may not be suitable for all printing scenarios.

2.Wear resistance: PET matte silver paper is often used in occasions that require a certain wear resistance, so its wear resistance should be considered when selecting ink. UV inks and solvent inks usually have better wear resistance.

3.Color brightness: Color brightness directly affects the visual effect of printed matter. UV inks and solvent inks perform well in terms of color brightness.

4.Environmental protection: With the improvement of environmental awareness, more and more customers tend to choose environmentally friendly ink. Water-based ink has obvious advantages in this respect.

5.Adhesion and fastness: The adhesion and fastness of the ink on PET matte silver paper are also important considerations. This needs to be achieved through proper surface treatment (such as corona treatment) and the selection of the appropriate ink formula.

6.Printing technology compatibility: Different printing technologies (such as letterpress printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, etc.) have different compatibility requirements for inks. Inks that match the printing technology used need to be selected.

Second, specific selection suggestions

1. UV ink:

Advantages: fast drying speed, high color brightness, strong wear resistance, not easy to fall off.

Application scenario: high-speed printing, mass printing, high requirements for color and wear resistance.

Note: UV curing equipment is required, and the cost is relatively high.

2. Solvent ink:

Advantages: durability, good wear resistance, can maintain the brightness and luster of the printed image.

Application scenario: where wear resistance and color brightness are required, especially when UV curing equipment is not available.

Note: Solvent volatilization may have a certain impact on the environment, so ensure good ventilation conditions.

3. Water-based ink:

Advantages: Good environmental protection, safe and harmless to human body.

Application scenarios: occasions with high environmental protection requirements, and low-cost printing scenarios such as small printing plants or family workshops.

Note: The drying speed is slow, may not be suitable for high-speed printing; In some PET matte silver paper surface adhesion and firmness may not be as good as UV inks and solvent inks.

Third, comprehensive selection suggestions

1.Clear printing needs: First of all, clear printing quantity, quality requirements, environmental requirements and other specific needs.

2.Understand the characteristics of printing technology: familiar with the characteristics of the printing technology used and the requirements for ink.

3.Compare ink performance: According to the needs of different ink drying speed, wear resistance, color brightness, environmental protection and other properties.

4.Consider cost effectiveness: under the premise of meeting the demand, consider the cost effectiveness of ink, choose the most cost-effective ink.

5.Consult professionals: If necessary, consult ink suppliers or printing technology experts for more professional advice.

Through the above steps, you can choose PET matte silver paper inks suitable for different printing technologies to ensure that the quality and environmental performance of the printed matter meet the requirements.
