Benefits of UV Inks

Lower energy usage.

With fast curing under UV lights, less energy is expended in screen printing than when using solvent or water-based inks that require large conveyor oven dryers. Emerging new UV led inks and light curing technologies will further improve energy consumption

Lower ink usage

Although UV inks usually cost more, fine application ensure larger coverage and so supplies go farther because there’s no solvent required and also nill screen drought and blockage unlike water-based inks and solvent inks and therefore less waste.

No toxic fumes.

Unlike their solvent-based counterparts, UV inks emit no volatile organic compounds during curing, making them a more environmentally-friendly and worker-friendly ink option.

Clear detailing

UV inks are thin and generally call for printing through a finer screen mesh. The ink allows printers to achieve extremely fine graphic details when screen printing.

Faster production times.

UV inks cure instantly and therefore subsequent colour runs are accomplished rapidly without risk of smudging resulting in quick delivery times.
