UV hard ink

When printing hard materials, you need to use hard ink, which has stronger adhesion and the weakest tensile bending performance. In the case of material distortion, the printed pattern will crack.Suitable material: ceramic tile, metal, wood, hard plastic, signs, acrylic, glass, integrated board, small crafts and other high hard materials.

Soft ink can be printed on soft materials, and there is no fault in the distortion of the material.  The ink layer is too soft, easy to leave scratches on hard materialsApplicable materials: light cloth, soft film, wall cloth, wallpaper, car stickers, PVC film, PET lamp, oil cloth, 3P cloth and other soft materials.

Coating free ink

This kind of coating free ink refers to the addition of part of the coating raw material in the original UV ink, so that before the need to wipe the coating directly through the equipment nozzle, improve the adhesion and printing effect, save time, so as to improve production efficiency.  It should be noted that this coating free ink will mix the ink with the coating liquid, which will increase the risk of nozzle plugging, and will reduce the color quality of the print.Suitable material: smooth surface, such as glass, acrylic, etc.
