UV Offset Ink

A UV ink for the runs where the paper stops absorbing and starts fighting back.

When a UV job goes wrong, nobody blames the color. The lamp, the line speed and the hands loading the tin take the hit. This ink is built around all three.

What it prints on

Synthetic paper, self-adhesive labels, PVC, PC, PE, PP, PET. All non-absorbent, most of them processed. Film plastic box printing is where it earns its keep, and it runs on sheet-fed and web presses.

The numbers

Color data

Color	Viscosity	Tinting strength	Light fastness	Gloss	Drying speed
Yellow	9-13	100%±5%	5	70-75	over 50 m/min (2000 W)
Magenta	10-14	100%±5%	5	70-75	over 50 m/min (2000 W)
Cyan	10-14	100%±5%	7	70-75	over 50 m/min (2000 W)
Black	9-13	100%±5%	7	70-75	over 50 m/min (2000 W)

Magenta and yellow hold light fastness 5. If the sheet is going to sit in a window for years, that 5 decides how the job looks in year three.

Where it gets noticed

UV monomers are the part of UV ink that turns on skin. This one is built on imported monomer raw material, which pulls the irritation down. Gloves still go on.

Where it is fussy

Lamp 80 W/cm or better. Under that, the sheet leaves the delivery tacky.
Shop at 25°C. Climate moves this ink's body more than it should, so the fix is controlling the room.
Viscosity creeping up with the weather: cut it with UV varnish additive and stay under 5%.
Do not mix with other ink types. Colors within this range blend fine.
Run an adhesion test on your own stock before the full run. It varies by substrate.
