UV Printer

UV printers, also known as Ultra-Violet printers, use UV ink and built-in lights. They print directly on surfaces like wood, metal, acrylic, and glass. This technology instantly cures inks and coatings, making it ideal for printing on bottles, brochures, and signage. UV printing is now widely adopted in various industries. Linko, a Chinese UV printer manufacturer, makes high-quality machines. We sell them worldwide and seek partners.

UV Printing Technology

UV printing, full name ultraviolet printing, is a digital printing technology. It uses ultraviolet curing technology to print UV ink directly on materials and "substrates" and dry them immediately.

Unlike traditional printing, UV printing uses piezoelectric inkjet technology. It controls the ink through the nozzle's internal voltage and sprays it on demand.

The sprayed UV ink turns solid when it hits UV rays. It forms a film that sticks to the material's surface.

UV printing does not require plate making, and patterns can be output directly from the computer. It has high precision, fast curing, bright colors, and wide adaptability. It allows for custom designs and is environmentally friendly.

FAQ About UV Printers

What are the consumables of UV printers?

UV ink, cleaning fluid, coating agent, AB film, varnish.

Is the operating cost of a UV printer high?

The main operating costs are as follows:

Ink cost: UV ink is relatively expensive, especially special effect inks (such as white ink, gold ink, etc.). Ink consumption is directly related to the printing area, resolution, ink layer thickness, etc.
Power consumption: UV printers consume a lot of power during operation, especially high-power industrial-grade equipment.
Maintenance cost: Including nozzle cleaning, ink circuit maintenance, parts replacement, etc.

Can UV printers print on fabric?

Yes, UV printers can print on certain treated fabrics, but the results may not be as good as specialized textile printing technologies. If you primarily print fabric, I recommend considering a DTF (Direct Transfer Film) printer. DTF printers are able to provide longer-lasting, higher-quality prints on a variety of fabrics.

How long does UV printing last?

Outdoors, UV printing can last 2 to 5 years without fading, and indoors, it lasts longer. The duration depends on the material, environmental conditions, and usage.
