Abstract

The technology of inkjet is used not only in house but also in commercial and industrial area. To expand business area, it is one of the main issues that ink is necessary to be used with nonabsorbent substrates such as plastic films. One of solution of this issue is UV ink. The market of UV curable inkjet have shown rapid growth in industrial area, especially in decoration market. We developed UV curable inkjet ink cured by LED lamp, which is able to be used in decoration with inkjet technology. The newly developed ink is superior in stretch to former UV inkjet ink for decoration, and it will be able to be used in forming process with higher curvature. Moreover, the newly developed ink also overcomes the difficulties that the hardness of former UV inkjet ink for stretch forming process is low, and curing coating film is broken off during punching process.
