Compatibility of UV Ink with Print Heads and Storage Environment

UV ink is a type of ink that is cured by ultraviolet light and is compatible with various types of print heads. Below are the common types of compatible print heads:

1. Epson Printhead: Epson nozzles are widely used in UV printers. Its precise inkjet technology allows UV ink to be sprayed evenly onto the printing media, ensuring high-quality printing results. Epson nozzles are mainly used in UV DTF crystal marking machines, and are also used by many UV flatbed printers and UV roll-to-roll printers.
2. Ricoh G5/G6 Printhead: Ricoh nozzles are widely used in UV printers. With their excellent industrial-grade performance and sophisticated inkjet technology, they ensure high-quality printing results. Ricoh nozzles can precisely control the ejection of UV ink so that it can evenly cover various printing media, showing high-definition, delicate images and stable color performance.
3. Kyocera Printhead: Kyocera nozzles are widely used in high-end industrial equipment such as UV flatbed printers, UV roll-to-roll printers, UV DTF (direct transfer film), and are especially suitable for large-size advertising, textiles, packaging, ceramics, building materials and other fields. printing application. Its unique combination of high jet speed and high precision gives it significant advantages in mass production and scenarios with stringent print quality requirements.
4. Toshiba Printhead: As a leader in the field of industrial printing, Toshiba nozzles are widely used in UV printers with its excellent inkjet technology and reliability. Toshiba printheads are known for their excellent durability, high-precision droplet control and versatility. They can print at high speeds while maintaining excellent print quality, and are suitable for a variety of complex industrial application needs.
5. Konica Printhead: Konica Minolta nozzle (Konica Minolta) enjoys a high reputation in the field of industrial printing for its efficient, stable and durable performance. With its advanced inkjet technology and excellent durability, Konica printheads can meet high-speed, high-precision printing requirements and are suitable for a variety of industrial application scenarios, especially in the field of UV printing.
6. Seiko Printhead: Seiko nozzle supports ink droplet sizes from 12 picolitres to 72 picolitres. It is suitable for use in high-speed printing and large color block filling scenarios, and can provide users with powerful color performance and fast printing speeds. 

UV ink, due to its unique curing mechanism and chemical composition, has strict requirements for storage conditions. Proper storage conditions can ensure the ink's performance and extend its shelf life. Below are the storage environment requirements for UV ink:

• UV ink should be stored in an environment with a temperature between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). High temperatures can accelerate the curing process of the ink, affecting its usability, while low temperatures may reduce the ink's fluidity, leading to print head clogging.

• The humidity of the storage environment should be maintained between 30% and 60%. High humidity can cause chemical reactions in the ink's components, potentially leading to degradation, while low humidity may affect the ink's spraying quality, causing uneven ink output from the print head.

• UV ink must be protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight or strong artificial light, as ultraviolet light can trigger the ink's curing reaction, rendering it unusable. Therefore, the ink should be stored in opaque containers to prevent ultraviolet light from affecting it.

• UV ink should be kept in well-sealed containers to prevent the entry of air, dust, and other contaminants. This not only prevents the ink from reacting with moisture or oxygen in the air but also extends its shelf life.

• Before use, it is recommended to gently shake the ink. After prolonged storage, the pigments in the ink may settle, so it is important to ensure the ink's uniformity before use to avoid print head clogging or uneven ink spraying.
