Principes de l'impression UV sur le verre

The ability of UV printers to print on glass stems from the unique chemical properties of UV ink. This ink is designed to cure rapidly under ultraviolet light, creating a strong bond with the glass surface.

Principes d'impression:

1. Encre UV: UV ink comprises photosensitive resins, pigments, and other components. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the photosensitive resins undergo crosslinking, causing the ink to solidify quickly.

2. Impression à jet d'encre: The UV printer’s print head precisely sprays UV ink onto the glass surface. The size and position of the ink droplets are controlled by a computer, creating the desired image.

3. Durcissement ultraviolet: After printing, the UV printer emits ultraviolet light to cure the ink layer. This process creates a durable and well-adhered ink film on the glass.

2. Revêtement facultatif: Some glass types may benefit from a pre-treatment or coating to enhance ink adhesion.

3. Création du design: La conception souhaitée est créée sur un ordinateur puis transférée à l'imprimante UV.

4. Impression: The glass object is placed on the UV printer’s printing platform, and the print job is started.

5. Durcissement: L'élément imprimé est exposé à la lumière UV pour guérir l'encre.

6. Coat claire facultatif: If desired, a clear UV coating can be applied to the printed glass product to enhance its gloss and durability. This UV clear coat provides several benefits:
