Why choose UV ink?

UV ink is a popular choice among professionals because it's designed to cure instantly under ultraviolet light. This ensures the print is immediately adhered to the printing surface, preventing fading and color bleeding that can degrade your print quality.

All the benefits of UV ink at a glance:

Visual effect: Because the ink doesn't soak into the material but remains on top, you get vibrant colors and a subtle 3D texture. This creates a luxurious look that will distinguish your company's products.

Instantly dry: Because the ink cures immediately under UV light, you don't have to wait for it to dry. This allows you to produce much faster.

Prints on almost anything: UV ink adheres to many materials: wood, glass, metal, plastic, leather, and even rubber. Where traditional inks would bleed or not adhere well, UV ink stays put.

More environmentally friendly: Because the ink dries with UV light rather than evaporation, no solvents evaporate into the air. This makes the printing process cleaner and safer for both the user and the environment.

Durable results and quality: UV ink is resistant to sunlight, scratches, and moisture. It is therefore widely used for textiles, outdoor signs, and industrial labels.

UV ink is therefore a smart solution for those who want to print quickly and with high quality on any surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UV ink?

UV ink is a special ink that hardens under ultraviolet light. Instead of drying through evaporation, UV ink hardens instantly upon contact with UV light. This creates a razor-sharp, durable print that adheres well to virtually any surface, from glass to metal and plastic.

Are all UV inks the same?

No, not all UV inks are the same. There are different formulas tailored to specific UV printers, materials, and applications. The composition determines, among other things, how flexible, glossy, or scratch-resistant the ink is. Therefore, it's important to use UV ink that is suitable for your printer type and the material you're printing on. We're happy to advise you on this.

What is the difference between hard and soft UV ink?

The difference between hard and soft UV ink lies in their flexibility. Hard UV ink becomes completely rigid after curing and is ideal for smooth, solid surfaces such as glass, metal, or wood. Soft UV ink remains somewhat elastic and flexible, allowing it to adhere better to flexible materials like foil, leather, or textiles. The choice therefore depends on the type of product you want to print on.
