Hard UV ink
Hard UV cures to a harder, more scratch-resistant film. It is the grade for material that stays flat and does not flex once printed — panels, sheet, tile, signage faces.
Fit
What hard uv ink is for
Suits
- Rigid sheet: acrylic, glass, ceramic tile, metal, ACP, MDF
- Work that gets handled, cleaned or walked past every day
- Flatbed printing where the sheet never bends
Not for
- Anything that rolls, flexes or gets wrapped — the film cracks
Printheads
Heads that run hard 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.
- Konica 9888HKonica MinoltaOne head, two colours. 1,776 nozzles in a 296×6 array, 5 PL minimum drop, 75 mm coverage.
- Epson i3200 U1EpsonThe UV variant. U1, E1 and A1 are different heads — the letter decides the ink.
- Ricoh Gen4RicohThe generation before the Gen5, still running in a lot of Indian shops.
- Kyocera KJ4BKyoceraIndustrial recirculating head — the reason some machines cope with white better than ours do.
