    1.


    UV drying appeared in the automotive paint industry as early as the 1950s, moved to the screen printing market in the 1960s, and occupied a larger market share in screen printing in the 1970s


    In pad printing, UV drying inks allow users to obtain fine printed images, and the images have the characteristics of fast drying, high abrasion resistance, good pressure resistance, and strong solvent resistance .



    2.


    Like solvent-based inks, pad printing inks have certain requirements for rheology



    3.


    As mentioned earlier, solvent-based pad printing inks are dried by solvent evaporation


    When UV energy passes through the ink layer, the photosensitive molecules in the ink interact with adjacent molecules, and these individual molecules are called monomers and oligomers


    So how to get the most efficient UV energy is a mercury lamp at moderate pressure


    UV pad printing inks can also be printed on heat-sensitive materials such as ABS, polystyrene and plastics



    4.


    If the printing job is relatively large, and the requirements for solvent resistance and abrasion resistance are high, the use of UV drying pad printing ink is undoubtedly the most ideal choice


    UV inks are also extremely solvent resistant after drying
