UV ink
UV ink cures instantly under lamps rather than drying by evaporation, which is why it prints on material that has no absorbency at all — glass, metal, acrylic.
Fit
What uv ink is for
Suits
- Non-absorbent material of every kind
- Work that must be handled immediately after printing
- White and varnish channels, which solvent and eco-solvent cannot offer
The catalogue specifies plain “UV ink” for these machines without naming a grade. Rather than choose one for you, we confirm soft or hard with the manufacturer against the material you actually print. The distinction is explained on soft UV and hard UV.
Printheads
Heads that run uv ink
Check yours before ordering. The head decides the chemistry, and the wrong chemistry is a replacement rather than a return.
- Ricoh Gen5RicohIndustrial UV head. Does not recirculate, so white needs a daily routine.
- Ricoh Gen6RicohThe faster Gen-series head. Same ink family as the Gen5.
- Epson i3200 U1EpsonThe UV variant. U1, E1 and A1 are different heads — the letter decides the ink.
- Epson i1600 U1EpsonHalf the nozzle count of the i3200, same UV chemistry.
- Epson i3200 E1EpsonThe eco-solvent variant. Will not run UV ink.
