FAQ
Q: What should be noted when using Flexible UV Ink?
A: When using Flexible UV Ink, please pay attention to the following points:
1.Printhead Compatibility: Ensure the ink matches the printer printhead model (e.g., Ricoh G5/G6, Epson I3200, etc.); incompatibility may cause clogging or damage.
2.UV Light Power: Sufficient energy is required for curing flexible ink; LED UV lamp power is recommended to be ≥20W/cm to ensure thorough curing and a non-tacky finish.
3.Ink Supply System: It is recommended to use an ink supply system with circulation and filtration functions to prevent impurities from clogging the printhead..
Q: What should be noted about the printing environment when using Flexible UV Ink?
A: 1.Temperature and Humidity: Recommended ambient temperature 20-28°C, relative humidity 40%-60%; excessive humidity affects curing results.
2.Cleanliness: Keep the printing area dust-free; dust adhesion affects ink planarity and adhesion.
3.Ventilation: Although the ink is eco-friendly, proper ventilation is still required to avoid localized heat accumulation.
