Inkjet Printing

Technical papers on industrial inkjet printing onto plastics: ink chemistry, UV LED curing, surface pretreatment and adhesion.

• Single-Pass UV LED Inkjet Printing on 3D Plastics – Ink Chemistry and Polymer Surfaces
  Single-pass versus scanning inkjet on 3D plastic products: why single-pass is faster but harder, ink selection, colour bleed and polymer wetting.
• Answering Common Inkjet Printing Questions
  Continuous inkjet versus drop-on-demand explained, plus ink adhesion on plastics, curing choices and what determines print quality on 3D products.
• Innovating Inkjet Technologies for Plastic Products
  UV-curable inkjet on 3D plastics: ink chemistry and binders, pigment colour gamut limits, and the surface pretreatment that makes adhesion possible.
• Industrial Inkjet Printing Onto Wearables
  Direct-to-product inkjet printing on wearables: customisation demand, UV-curable ink chemistry, and the skin-contact certification the market now expects.
• Advancements in Inkjet UV LED Curing Technology
  UV LED curing for inkjet on plastics: wavelength selection at 365, 385 and 395 nm, thermal management options, and why LED now rivals mercury lamps.
• Surface Pretreatments and Custom Inks Advance Inkjet Printing of Plastics and Films
  Digital printing on plastics compared: piezoelectric UV LED inkjet versus fibre laser marking, ink-substrate compatibility and surface pretreatment.
