UV light's radiation parameters and printing speed of printer has important influences to the curing of ink in the printing process. In order to achieve the fast curing of UV ink, fix the UV ink. By changing the printing conditions such as light intensity, irradiation distance and curing speed, test the double bond conversion of UV ink, and analysis the influence of printing conditions on the curing of ink. Meanwhile, change the oxygen concentrations of the test environment; test the double bond conversion of UV ink in different printing conditions, and analyze the influences of printing conditions to the oxygen inhibition in the curing of UV ink. Through the analysis of the test results, discuss the printing conditions that can weaken the oxygen inhibition in the curing, and achieve the fast curing of ink. The results show that the printing conditions such as light intensity, irradiation distance and printing speed have great influence to the curing of UV ink, as well as the oxygen inhibition in the curing. The UV ink can expedite curing by adjusting the printing conditions, making it meet the needs to high-speed printing.
