Environmentally friendly UV-curable inks

Nowadays, the movement to select and purchase products with low environmental impact is spreading all over the world, and food packaging and printed materials are also required to be environmentally friendly. TOYO INK 's UV-curable inks is a non-VOC ink and is environmentally friendly ink with very low impact on air pollution.

Non-VOC

Non-VOC means that it does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC). In other words, it can be said to be an environmentally friendly ink that is excellent in preserving the atmospheric environment.
In addition, general UV-curable inks have been considered unsuitable for waste paper recycling because they are difficult to deink, but TOYO INK 's high-sensitivity UV-curable inks have solved this problem and have received the Eco Mark as a "recycleable UV-curable inks" Get. This has made it possible to contribute to obtaining Eco Mark and Recycling A certification for printed matter.

UV-curable inks that contribute to energy conservation and _CO2 reduction

UV-curable inks are quick-drying inks that instantly cure and dry ink by causing a photochemical reaction with the irradiation energy of ultraviolet (UV) rays. Power consumption due to the use of UV lamps has been an issue, but high-sensitivity UV-curable inks can be cured and dried with 1/3 the amount of irradiation used to do so, greatly contributing to energy saving and _CO2 reduction during the printing process.

Value-added printing solutions using UV-curable inks

UV printing can be applied to a variety of materials such as paper and film, and can be used for a wide range of purposes such as posters, pamphlets, and packaging. Here are some examples of value-added printing solutions using TOYO INK 's UV-curable inks.

• 01 I want to express 3D and movement
• 02 I want to do special processing
• 03 I want to use materials other than paper
• 04 I want to differentiate myself through packaging.

01 I want to express 3D and movement

lenticular printing

Lenticular is a type of printed material that expresses three-dimensional images or switching images by pasting lenticular lenses (cylindrical lenses) onto the surface of the print.
You can add depth and movement to printed matter by arranging images of the same subject taken at different angles or rotations (stereoscopic vision, animation, etc.), or by arranging completely different images (image switching).

02 I want to do special processing

Glossy/pseudo embossed

By using UV varnish as a surface treatment, it is possible to create a glossy or matte feel, making printed matter more beautiful and giving it a sense of luxury. In addition to providing gloss, it can also be used to protect surfaces from scratches and dirt, and to improve water-based, abrasion resistance, and heat resistance in packages.
Furthermore, by applying pseudo-emboss processing, you can create printed materials with a rich three-dimensional effect.

Gold, silver, pearl, fluorescent

Special inks such as gold, silver, pearl, and fluorescent inks may be used for printed materials that need to create a luxurious or elegant impression, such as cosmetic packages. UV-curable inks, which has the characteristic of quick drying, does not require a long drying time like oil-based inks, so it is possible to overprint in a short time, and high density printing using this method creates a metallic luster and pearlescent feel. It became possible to express strongly.
It also greatly reduces post-processing problems such as ``rubbing stains'' and ``backing'', which were major problems with conventional oil-based inks.

03 I want to use materials other than paper

It is possible to print on non-absorbent special materials such as PP and PET film materials. UV printing is used for a variety of purposes other than just film materials. Most cards such as prepaid cards and cash cards are UV printed. In addition, the design of the CD itself and, unusually, the cap of the plastic bottle are also UV printed.

04 I want to differentiate myself through packaging.

UV-curable inks can be printed and processed on non-absorbent materials such as pearl paper and aluminum paper, so when used in packaging, it can improve the appearance and appeal of products. It is also ideal for packaging because it is resistant to set-off and has excellent abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and durability. Only UV printing can create a luxurious look on special fabrics with outstanding shine and texture. Furthermore, since no organic solvents are used, there is no odor, making it ideal for food and drug packaging.
