What exactly is a good way to print silicone products?

Truth be told, there is no one suitable for silicone printing! SR Series: Inks that dry quickly and physically.

With the exception of SR520, 536, 568, 832 and 839, SR inks contain pigments that are highly resistant to fading. After proper and thorough drying, the ink film exhibits excellent adhesion, scratch resistance, abrasion resistance and adhesion resistance. …PY-Series:

This is an ink that dries physically very quickly. 20-30 minutes to dry at temperature. For printing purposes, dry in a 50-degree tunnel dryer for 30-60 seconds.

The above drying time also depends on the thickness of the ink film, whether the hardener is added and the type of hardener, and the name of the dry product: TPR Bright Vinyl Pad Printing Ink TPR Series: Especially suitable for hard PVC, PS, ABS, SAN, PC, PMMA, some soft PVC, wood, paper and cardboard.

With the addition of hardeners TPH1 or TPH2, TPR can achieve good adhesion to many other substrates, such as painted surfaces, weakly anodized aluminum, or some thermoset plastics. Drying is physically fast, and the drying conditions vary depending on the additives used. TPU series:

It is suitable for the surface of difficult printing materials, such as treated PE, PP, thermoplastics, metals, paints, polyurethane, nylon, melamine resin, surface and other similar materials. It can also be used for printing on the surface of polyacetal materials. Fading Resistance The TPU series inks use only pigments that are highly resistant to fading.

Mix with overprinting varnish or other colored inks, especially white inks, ......TPY series: This is an ink that dries very quickly. 20 minutes to dry at 20 temperatures.

If it is necessary to meet the needs of printing, it can be used at 30 o'clock and dry for 30-40 seconds. If TPH1 or TPH2 are added, the drying time will be extended. The above drying time also depends on the substrate, the depth of etching of the printing plate, and drying.

There are 2 ways to print silicone products:

UV printer printing, UV printing is a new way of silicone printing, and it is also a more popular one now. Using the UV printer, you can freely customize the color pattern on the silicone product. The printing cost is also reduced, there is no need for plate making, film, and the production cycle is fast, and it is ready to dry.

If you want to know the process of UV printers, you can find some manufacturers to consult.

Silk screen printing is the abbreviation of screen printing, and the principle of screen printing is that when the printing plate is printing, the printing plate is transferred to the silicone product through the eyelets of the plate through a certain pressure. Silk screen printing is currently the most common printing method.

There are three common processes for silicone product printing:

1. The way of silk screen printing is fast, low cost and heavy pollution;

2. The way of thermal transfer printing is fast, the cost is slightly higher, and the pollution is heavy;

3. The way of UV printing is slow, good cost, green and environmentally friendly.

Silicone UV color printing breaks through and does not require traditional flame treatment for baking.

Under the professional silicone coating, you can print and print white ink directly on it, that is, silicone UV printing can also have an embossing effect. And, of course, print with flexible ink!

It can be tested through 100 grids, no cracking, and meets all requirements!

Silicone products have UV printing, silk screen printing, thermal transfer printing and other printing methods.
