Uses of UV Ink in Screen Printing

UV inks are used to print on smooth surfaces. UV inks are commonly used in screen printing for decals, nameplates, signage, metal decoration, container decoration and automotive artwork, as well as for industrial applications. UV inks often contain additives to tailor the ink to the proper screen printing application. Specialty UV inks, such as glitter inks, also are available. There are even UV inks that create prints that attract magnets, making them ideal for display signage that needs to be changed out frequently. 

In recent years probably no area of screenprinting has developed faster than UV printing. As a commercially viable technology its history is barely three decades old, but today it competes readily with the solvent-based screenprinting inks.

Silk-screen printing is one of the most popular printing techniques, and is the most-used by companies when printing designs onto products of different sizes and materials.

It has been used for more than 100 years in the commercial and artistic sector and is mainly used for printing images and designs on vinyl, pvc, acrylic, aluminum, wood, ceramics and other flat surface materials.

There are different types of silk-screen printing, depending on the aim and the printing process used. Among them, we can find screen printing for the graphic design sector, screen printing for the art sector and textile printing.
