UV Printing on Acrylic Materials

Acrylic, also known as plexiglass, is a transparent plastic material with outstanding strength, stiffness, and optical clarity. There are many applications that use acrylic material. These applications include awards, picture frames, furniture, glass substitutes, signage, displays, packaging, retail displays, promotional products, etc. Let us review the methods of printing this material

Adhesion testing on glass

Adhesion testing on glass is an important quality assurance measure in the glass printing and decorating industries. Glass is smooth and has a low surface energy, which poses UV ink adhesion challenges. With UV printing technology gaining popularity, the ability to print durable prints on glass is very important. However, the durability of the UV printed images depends on the UV ink’s ability to stick to the glass. As a result, the use of UV adhesion promoters and adhesion testing becomes a critical step in evaluating the prints’ ability to resist peeling, scratching, or fading over time.

Benefits of UV printing

UV printing has revolutionized the world of printing and decorating. This printing technology offers many advantages that extend beyond vibrant and high-quality prints. In the search for a sustainable printing process, we investigate the environmental benefits of UV printing. Additionally, we will look at how UV inkjet ink and jettable adhesion promoters contribute to a greener and more eco-friendly printing landscape.

Improving ink adhesion

Boston Industrial Solutions, Inc., offers the best UV adhesion promoter for your specific printing material. Some of our UV adhesion promoters include M74F, G1, PP Primer, etc. When properly applied, these digital primers increase the product’s adhesion properties, which enable UV ink to bond permanently to the material.

UV jettable primer benefits

UV adhesion promoters (primers) help UV ink adhere to hard-to-print substrates such as glass, metal, acrylics, PVC, HDPE, etc. There are three methods of applying the ink primers: wipe, spray, and jettable (printable). In this article, we will review our JP254 UV adhesion promoter. In this article, we will cover the UV jettable primer benefits over wipe on and spray on primers.
