New inks help digital printing into the metal age

New inks help digital printing enter the metal age, and pigment specialist Eckart claims to overcome this technical difficulty. They silently demonstrated their achievements in this field at the drupa exhibition last year, and this year The FespaDigital exhibition held in May shined.

The company exhibited two inkjet printers capable of printing metal inks at Fespa, one is an improved Yumu large-format solvent printer, and the other is a narrow-width UV customized by JFMachines in the UK. Curing printing machine.

Aika said that they received amazing results at the Fespa exhibition. The market demand for metallic ink is very strong, and all the samples produced at the exhibition were taken away by the audience.

In the past two years, Aika has been committed to promoting its metal inks in the digital field, but they found that the biggest obstacle they encountered was economic problems, not technical problems, and the digital printing market was not large enough.

Field test

As the market conditions continue to mature, the company has tested its inks on Epson, Konica Minolta, Spectra, ToshibaTec, Trident, and Xaar printheads, some of which were completed under laboratory conditions. , Some are done on production machines.

This summer, Aika's inkjet metal ink will be officially put into production. The packaging field will become the main market for such inks. As a top priority in the large-format printing field, point-of-sale advertising will also become a major consumer of metallic inks.

Auxiliary retail

For luxury packaging, metal inkjet can not only reduce its demand for analog printing process, but also bring better post-press processing effect for users. When brand owners have the ability to print metal inks with digital presses, they can gain a greater advantage in the increasingly fierce product promotion battle. Basically, which printing process can help them sell products, which one they will use.

In addition, metallic ink will also be used in greeting cards and other fields. Many cards will choose metal or gold foil effect, and the sales of personalized cards on the Internet are also rising-although we can not combine personalization with metal printing.

Aika's test results show that the packaging and labeling market has a strong demand for metallic inks. With the continuous advancement of technology, printing companies will gradually realize the great benefits of printing metal inks with digital printers.
