UVIJET LED KNK187: UV LED Ink for Maximum Adhesion on Rigid Substrates
UVIJET LED KNK187 is a rigid-formulation UV LED ink designed specifically for industrial digital printing on non-flexible substrates such as plastics, glass, metal, and rigid cardboard. Its advanced composition allows for instant curing under UV LED light, ensuring excellent jetting stability and superior anchorage on non-porous materials. It is optimized to maximize performance in equipment featuring industrial Konica Minolta and Ricoh Gen 5/6 printheads, delivering highly resistant finishes and exceptional color accuracy.
Machine Operational Advantages
- Instant Curing: UV LED technology adapted for maximum energy efficiency and high production speeds without compromising drying times.
- Extreme Adhesion and Resistance: Superior anchorage on rigid non-porous substrates, featuring high mechanical resistance to scratching, chemicals, and moisture.
- Extended Color Gamut: Formulation available in CMYK plus Orange, Green, and Violet, ensuring precise color reproduction and high optical density.
- Printhead Stability: Controlled viscosity that guarantees continuous flow and prevents clogging in industrial printheads, extending their operational life.
