Why UV inkjet ink is the catalyst for change in the printing industry

Inkjet printing is a contactless, pressure-free, plate-free printing method. Whether it is a simple block color pattern, a full-color pattern or a pattern with transitional colors, it can be printed in one go. The most important medium in inkjet printing is ink. Traditional inkjet inks are generally divided into water-based inks, oil-based inks and solvent-based inks. As a manufacturer of photocurable resins, Bossin will discuss with you today about a type of ink based on photocuring technology - UV inkjet ink.

UV inkjet printing is a printing method that combines inkjet printing technology with ultraviolet light curing technology. It offers both the ease of use and convenience of inkjet printing technology and the high-speed printing production efficiency provided by light curing technology. With the rapid development of computer and network technology, as well as the continuous innovation of printing equipment and related consumables, UV inkjet is no longer a novelty, but it is undeniable that it is a catalyst for change in the printing industry. The reason for this is that UV inkjet ink has the following advantages over traditional inkjet ink.

First, it is green and environmentally friendly

UV inkjet ink does not contain solvents or VOCs, which reduces pollution to the environment and is in line with the development trend of green printing.

Second, it prevents nozzle clogging.

UV inkjet ink will not dry and solidify at the nozzle, will not clog the nozzle, and effectively reduces the cleaning work of the nozzle.

Third, it has wide applicability

UV inkjet inks can be printed directly on a variety of substrates, enabling many processes and products that traditional inkjet printing systems cannot achieve, including but not limited to flexible, rigid, absorbable or non-absorbent materials.

Fourth, it delivers high-quality printing

UV inkjet can achieve high-resolution and high-precision printing effects. The patterns and texts are brightly colored and waterproof and anti- fading. At the same time, they offer better friction resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance.

UV inkjet printing, with its unique characteristics and unlimited potential, has become a strong driving force for the sustainable development of the printing industry.

a UV resin R&D and production manufacturer, Bossin has launched a series of special light-curing resins for UV inkjet, such as B-27, B- 43H , B-270 , B- 574C and other models. Welcome to inquire for sample testing.

Seven types of 3D printing

Previously we mentioned that 3D printing can be divided into 7 categories, including material extrusion, binder jetting, powder bed fusion, material jetting, sheet lamination, directed energy deposition, and stereolithography. Below we will introduce these 7 categories in details.
3D Printing Overview

In recent years, 3D printing technology has developed rapidly and has gradually become an indispensable part of modern manufacturing. According to the latest data from the "2024 3D Printing Trend Report" by Protolabs, the global 3D printing market size reached US$22.14 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to US$57.1 billion by 2028.
BM3384: 3PO-GPTA

In the world of coatings and inks, traditional solvent-based players always have a group of "organic followers" - that is, organic solvents, whose main function is to dissolve solid components and adjust the "viscosity" of the entire system. However, these "little followers" do not participate in the film-forming process. They quietly slip away behind the scenes and evaporate into the air, which not only pollutes the environment, but also may bring certain safety hazards.

Hydroxyacrylate monomer

In the synthesis of polyurethane acrylate, hydroxyl acrylate reacts with NCO groups to introduce acryloyloxy groups, which are generally present at the chain ends of polyurethane prepolymers.

In the large family of photocurable resins, in addition to the "tough guy" epoxy acrylate, another important type of resin is polyurethane acrylate, which is abbreviated as PUA. This all-round talent has shown his prowess in the fields of photocurable coatings, inks, adhesives, etc. Although it is slightly inferior to epoxy acrylate, it is also quite popular. It is synthesized from raw materials such as long-chain diols, polyisocyanates and hydroxy acrylates. Since these three raw materials have a variety of structures and models to choose from, through clever molecular design, whether it is flexibility, hardness or wear resistance, PUA can be "designed" in advance to meet the needs of different scenarios. This flexibility makes PUA the one with the "most product brands" among photocurable resins.
