In the ink, you will find small polymers and monomers. These are very light molecules that fuse together to form polymers. The hardening and drying of the Ink happens so rapidly that the wet ink dots do not have a chance to spread out and expand. This results in much finer detail/ higher resolution than other types of printing technologies. If a super-high resolution isn’t a good enough reason to give UV printing a try, UV inks have even more benefits. They are fade and weather resistant and the process of curing the inks is also better for the environment than solvent printing as they give off fewer VOC’s and odours! Win-win! I hear you say. The UV light, heat and warping From the VersaUV series of inkjet flatbed UV printers made by Roland to the UFJ and JFX series of flatbed UV LED printers for sale from Mimaki, we have many options to choose from some of most well-known and trusted manufacturers in the industry.

Personalization: UV printing is perfect for personalization, allowing businesses to print different designs on each product. This is because the digital printing process doesn’t require a separate stencil or screen for each design, making it easy to create unique and customized products. The Mutoh ValueJet VJ-426UF LED UV Printer combines the latest generation variable drop piezo print head technology, high precision mechanical design, new electronics, LED UV curing lamps and ease of use to deliver unrivalled print quality. Compared to “classic” UV printing, Mutoh LED UV technology provides state-of-the-art health and safety and environmental benefits: ozone generation free, mercury free, lead free, VOC free, and does not contain any hazardous air pollutants (non-HAP), eliminating the need for outgassing of prints and air purification requirements. The Mutoh ValueJet VJ-426UF LED UV Printer prints on a wide variety of solid materials and 3D objects including ABS, Alu-board, PC, PE, PET, PMMA (acrylic), PP, PS, PVC, glass, and Tyvek. The Mutoh VJ-426UF multi-purpose LED UV Printer produces ultra-sharp, high quality output and includes optional white and varnish for a luxurious or specialty finish. Mutoh’s award-winning Intelligent Interweaving print technology drastically reduces or totally eliminates the typical difficulties inherent to conventional digital UV inkjet printing. Dedicated Intelligent Interweaving print effects for the Mutoh LED UV inks have been engineered, ensuring a drastic reduction of the curing structure in the ink layer and gloss banding suppression. The biggest benefit of this proprietary Mutoh print technology is that it offers predictable and repeatable output quality, bringing an unprecedented level of user comfort to the printer operator. To maintain your UV printer and keep it running without any unexpected problems, we have lots of UV ink for Mimaki and Roland UV printers, all kinds of media that are suitable for UV printing, and even all of the associated consumables, services and maintenance products you need to keep your equipment going 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.

Ideal for all your printing and cutting needs, these UV printers and cutters offer the flexibility to print on a Temperature: 20 to 32°C (68 to 90°F) (22°C (72°F) or higher recommended), Humidity: 35 to 80% RH (no condensation) Mutoh’s new wide piezo print head and new generation electronics offers a unique blend of high speed and high quality. The drop-on-demand Micro Piezo Inkjet Technology features a single print head with 1440 nozzles divided into four colour sections. Each colour section has 360 nozzles, or two 180 nozzle rows per colour. Because all colour sections are united in one head, there is no need for time-consuming head-to-head calibration routines. The integrated print head is capable of producing ink drops ranging from 3.8 picoliters to 28 picoliters, resulting in incredible accuracy, sharpness, and speed. Increased accuracy and consistency of dot size and dot release during printing improves the image, in addition to increased dot gain control, allowing for more latitude in profile settings. New generation electronics include higher carriage speeds and ink firing frequencies and adapted weaving algorithms give an impressive increase in productions speed as well as optimised ink spread and improved drying.

After all, a Ultraviolet light was used in the printing process. No. You’re finished print will not glow under ultra violet light. The fact that an ultra violet light was used in the curing/drying process does not mean the finished print will glow in the dark. Find out more about our solutions for Corporate Photo & Video.
