Understanding Ink for Pad Printing
Achieving repeatable, high-quality pad print product decoration depends on identifying the right pad printing ink for each unique substrate. This requirements is a key step towards pad printing success.
Inks for silicone rubber printing
Natron Inks for silicone rubber printing are 2-component silicone inks formulated to print on silicone rubber parts. These inks are screen, pad printed, or sprayed. The SE ink for silicone rubber is opaque, glossy, flexible, and exceptionally resistant to chemicals and abrasion.
What is polypropylene primer?
Polypropylene Primer is used for hard-to-bond surfaces such as polypropylene plastics-typically denoted by PP. Learn more about PP primer and the inks to use for printing on this hard to print substrate.
Priming is the solution
Some of the challenging substrates to print are stainless steel, coated metal, PP Plastics, synthetic rubbers, etc. As a result a UV Inkjet primer is very important.
So How do you get inkjet ink to stick to stainless?
UV Ink Primers for UV Inkjet Printers
UV inkjet primers are very vital especially when dealing with UV inkjet printers. The industrial and promotional products markets use UV flatbed printers because of the ability to print full color. However, the printing inks are limited to number of substrates they can adhere to. This is where primers step in, to make it possible to print on many different substrates with UV inkjet inks.
