Is it true that UV ink can produce special printing effects using screen printing？

     UV ink is an environmentally friendly ink that has rapidly developed in recent years. It is loved by people in the printing industry for its instant curing (dry, free of volatile solvents), simple and convenient application, and other characteristics. Especially in screen printing, UV ink is widely used and suitable printing materials include paper, synthetic paper, wood products, plastics (ABS, PS, PC, PVC, PMMA, PET, etc.), coated metals, glass, ceramics, etc.

     Screen printing has a thick ink layer, bright colors, simple process, low investment, and fast results. Therefore, it has been widely used in many industries such as light industry, electronics, machinery, automotive, textile, chemical, commercial, art, advertising, decoration, packaging, etc., especially in the fields of decoration, beautifying people's lives, commercial advertising promotion, and electronic industry printing circuits. It plays an irreplaceable role in other printing methods.

Due to the characteristics of screen printing compared to other printing methods, UV ink uses screen printing to produce special printing effects. Specifically manifested in:

At present, many popular packaging boxes for cigarettes, alcohol, cosmetics, and food in the packaging market are printed on gold and silver cardstock with UV matte, UV ice flower, UV wrinkle, UV refraction, UV gemstone, etc. After being irradiated by UV lamps, various realistic artistic effects such as matte, ice flower, wrinkle, gemstone, etc. will be produced. Like a smooth metal surface that has been treated with processes such as corrosion, sanding, carving, etc., making printed materials appear elegant, luxurious, and dignified. Especially when combined with other printing methods such as offset printing, flexographic printing, and gravure printing, the advantages complement each other and can further enhance the market competitiveness of packaging products.

      In terms of UV screen printing, in addition to commonly used products such as frosted, wrinkled, refracted, foamed, and glossy oil, there are also products such as crystal, matte film glossy oil, and matte paste that are introduced to the market to meet the different requirements of the printing industry. They are suitable for packaging printing brushes for wine bags, cigarette bags, calendars, cultural products, etc. The development of any emerging industry cannot be separated from the support and cooperation of other industries. Whether it is the coating and ink industry, the printing industry, the machinery industry, or the raw material industry, they all hope to find the common ground of "UV" in the process of horizontal cooperation, in order to seek the development of some new application areas and achieve new breakthroughs in their respective industries.
