Can UV flatbed printers replace ink brands?

It is generally not recommended to replace the ink brand for UV flatbed printers if the print quality and the color fastness can meet the demand, The reasons are as follows: 1. If change the ink, we need to redo the curve. 2. Low-quality ink can easily block the nozzle, break the ink tube, and make the color fastness worse.

The consequences of changing the ink brand for UV flatbed printers as follows:

1. Re-curve

Different brands of UV ink have different colors. In the absence of matching curves, the printed pattern has a large color difference. To draw a curve, one requires special tools and the other requires experience and skills. Now, the price of inviting someone to make a curve exceeds 500 USD.

2. Blocking Print Head

Generally speaking, except for a long time and a lot of testing, there is no better way to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of ink. There are too many inferior inks in the UV ink market. Once the poor quality ink is purchased, the nozzle will likely be clogged, the ink will be interrupted during printing, and the color fastness will be poor.

Under what circumstances do we need to change the brand of UV flatbed printer ink?

1. The flatbed printer with UV ink effect can not meet the needs, such as insufficient colorfastness, cracking, and other phenomena.
2. The UV flatbed printer manufacturer is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the supply is not timely or cannot be supplied.
3. Manufacturers usually sit on the ground and raise prices arbitrarily, or their prices are much higher than the average market price.

 What are the requirements for changing the ink brand of UV flatbed printers?

1. Curve

Usually, as long as you are willing to change the ink, the manufacturers of the corresponding UV ink brands are willing to help make curves for free, but not every ink manufacturer provides this service, so you must clearly state in advance.

2. Configuration

Before changing the ink brand of the UV flatbed printer, you must first determine the configuration of the machine (such as the type of the nozzle), and then look at which brand of ink is used by other people’s UV flatbed printers (using the same configuration) Ink, no problem for others to print, then there is no problem. Don’t believe the bragging of some ink suppliers unless you have a good understanding of the ink market for UV flatbed printers, or others are willing to compensate for the impact of replacing ink.

3. Price

In the UV market, if the cost of ink is too high, it does not have a competitive advantage, but do not be greedy and cheap. Generally, things that are too cheap will not have good goods, you get what you pay for.
