With the advent of UV printers, you won't need eco solvent printers ever again. Why?

UV ink absolutely never dries printheads. UV ink does not contain solvent that must evaporate during the curing phase. UV ink is liquid ink in the ink line system and does not evaporate, but UV ink become solid ink within 0.02 seconds once it receives exposure to strong UV-light.

Absolutely no odor
UV Ink is Environmentally Friendly UV ink becomes 100% percent solid and do not release VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Color Consistency

With ECO-UV inks, the absence of ink reaction and absorption means colors will be consistent across different media types without requiring profiles specific for the media.

Unmatched Media Compatibility

Droplets of UV ink are cured by the UV lights shortly after they land on the surface of the media, leaving almost no time for the droplets to react or be absorbed by the media. This virtually eliminates any ink and media compatibility issue, making the UV ink compatible with a wide variety of coated and uncoated media.

Very Robust Image

UV solid ink does not diffuse after printing due to it becoming solid ink within 0.02 seconds once it is exposed to strong UV-light. No material is evaporated or removed, which means about 100% of the delivered volume is used to provide coloration. This can guarantee UV inks to produce very robust image at high resolution. (In fact, 14pl UV ink printing resolution is much higher than 3.5pl eco solvent ink).

Stretchable UV ink

The stretchable UV ink can expand up to 220 percent. This greater elasticity allows graphics to wrap uneven shapes, indentations, corners and curved surfaces.

Fast Print Process

UV ink become solid very quickly, which leads to instant drying that results in a completely cured graphic in a matter of seconds. This also allows for a very fast print process.

Scratch Resistance

The scratch resistance of UV ink is much better than eco solvent ink.

Resistance to Fading

UV ink printing can last up to 3 years ourdoor without lamination.

Waterproof

UV ink is waterproof ink and no need to laminate for outdoor.
UV Flatbed Printers are the future of commercial printing. There are just too many advantages, including its fast curing speeds, high print qualities, durability and flexibility, for ultraviolet printing not to become the new standard.

Easier Maintenance

UV ink never dries your UV Flatbed Printer head and you can run your UV flatbed printer after months without printing. Just do a little cleaning and your uv flatbed printer can get back to the perfect printing condition. For solvent printers, however, it is impossible to immediately resume work after one month without printing.

Fast Curing Speeds

With UV Flatbed Printer, the ink is dry the moment it comes off the press. No more waiting for the ink to dry, no more waiting to do proofs, no more ghosting of images on the page above it. Instead, press checks are quick and you can move on to binding and finishing faster. Not only is it faster for your clients, it saves you time too.

Flexibility

With UV Flatbed Printer, you can print on almost any surface such as glass, wood, metal and any regid media. That flexibility translates to hundreds of uses at the local print shop level  small retail items,book covers, clings, cards, large banners, the list is almost endless. And with this new UV Flatbed Printer ability to print on traditionally non-porous surfaces like Styrene or hard boards, customers are starting to pay attention.

High Print Qualities

No more double passes through the press, no more re-runs. UV Flatbed Printer allows for high-gloss levels, vibrant colors, an array of coatings and printing thats crisp and has a nice finished look. Thats because UV Flatbed Printer inks tend to sit on top of the printed surface, rather than being absorbed into it. The end result is sharper and crisper.

Durability

UV Flatbed Printer is also more resistant to scratches, wear and tear, and sun exposure than its traditionalprinting counterparts. Customers love that a large promotional piece isnt going to become tired and sun-worn after a few weeks.

UV Flatbed Printer isnt the little-known secret of the printing world anymore; customers are starting to ask for it by name. They want that speed, durability, high print quality and surface flexibility that ultraviolet printing can offer. Dont get left behind.

Print multiple passes over same image
With Lava UV Flatbed printer, you can print multiple passes over same image. This is very useful for backlit printing. Lava UV Flatbed Printer can return to the exactly the same position to print the same image an many times as you want.
