FAQ
Q: Can hard uv ink be used on soft materials?
A: Hard uv ink (Rigid uv ink)is not suitable for soft materials (such as certain soft film, cloth, etc.), which will deform when curled, folded or to external force, while the rigid ink film lacks elasticity and cannot withstand repeated bending, which is prone to micro-cracks or even peeling off as a whole.
Q: What are the types of UV ink?
A: UV inks are available in three types based on their physical characteristics after curing: soft, hybrid, and hard. Choosing the right ink is essential for the printing outcome. Hard UV inks are designed for rigid substrates such as metal, glass, and acrylic, offering high gloss and strong adhesion. Soft materials such as PVC film, leather, and fabric require inks with good flexibility and stretchability to accommodate bending or stretching.
