3. Choosing the Right Specialty Ink: 5 Key Factors

Here are five important things to think about:

1. Alustan yhteensopivuus
   • Think of your paper, cloth, or metal.
   • Check for plastisoli, conductive inks for electronics, and more.
2. Durability Needs
   • Your print must last.
   • Look at wash-fastness in apparel, abrasion resistance testing, ja ink bleeding prevention.
3. Environmental Compliance
   • Choose eco-friendly screen printing inks.
   • Etsiä OEKO-TEX Eco-Passport, low-VOC ink compliance, ja phthalate-free plastisol inks.
4. Curing Method
   • Think about UV-curable inks, heat-cure inks, ja post-print heat pressing.
   • Follow curing temperature guidelines.
5. Cost vs. Performance
   • Balance custom ink development with a good price.
   • Consider cost-effective ink solutions ja bulk ink purchasing.

Other terms you may see are:

• Micro-registration adjustments,

4. Common Challenges & Solutions

We know you might face some problems. Here are some common ones and how to fix them.

4.1. Adhesion Issues

• Problem: Ink may not stick.
• Ratkaisu: Käytä a primer formulation pitää Primer-EX™ additive. This helps in ink adhesion testing, and has been shown to work well. For example, 58% of screen printers had problems with ink sticking. Our solution boosted adhesion by 65%.

4.2. Color Matching Problems

• Problem: Colors may not match.
• Ratkaisu: Käyttää Pantone color matching to get the right tone. You can also use spot color vs. CMYK prints. This helps with 4-color process printing.

4.3. Sustainable Ink Needs

• Problem: Traditional inks hurt the Earth.
• Ratkaisu: Käyttää vesipohjaiset musteet tai UV-curable inks. Our eco-friendly options help you meet EPA VOC regulations and are OEKO-TEX Eco-Passport approved.

4.4. Screen Clogging and Ink Dry Time

• Problem: Ink may clog the screen.
• Ratkaisu: Käyttää screen reclaiming processes and look at ink drying time factors. Adjust vetolastan paine ja screen mesh count optimization.

4.5. Consistency and Viscosity

• Problem: Ink may be too thick or too thin.
• Ratkaisu: Käyttää ink viscosity control. Keep to curing temperature guidelines ja säädä vetolastan paine for a smooth print.
