Printing ink is simply a combination of pigments and solvents, the use of ink to print the ideal color will be affected by the ink itself, printer, printing medium three factors. Ink curve is generally used to describe the ink output device (UV printer, etc.) according to the color of the medium to be printed to choose a specific ratio of ink output scheme, to achieve the ideal color effect. A predetermined set of programs that issue sequential instructions to the printer at the time of printing tells the printer what color of ink to use and how much ink to combine the color points on the pattern.
So is the ink curve important in actual production?
Let’s take a closer look at the ink curve:
1. Ink curve is an ink output scheme printed on a certain medium by UV printer using a certain ink ratio. Each printer has a default ink output scheme
2. The commonly mentioned ink CMYK color is the standard four-color color for printing. For a high-quality ink, each color should be close to the printing color stipulated in theory. But the actual market ink color will have some differences, this difference is caused by different ink raw materials, production technology and whether to strictly follow the printing color standards.
3. UV printer software (RIP) has a powerful color adjustment function, can get the desired output quality through the adjustment function.
4. As far as ink is concerned, whether there is ink curve or not is not very important. What is important is to choose a truly high-quality ink.
5. Ink quality is not high, it is impossible to get high-quality color quality! Really good ink, its color value of each color is closer to the color standard. UV printers with excellent performance use high-quality special ink, even if there is no specific curve, regular printing can output excellent printing quality, excellent UV printer output patterns when its inkjet program will follow the printing color standards. The inferior ink that does not follow printing color standard very well, the need just appears more important to color curve, chromatic aberration is very big when conventional printing.
6. Inkjet printing output quality core related three factors: printer itself, ink quality, software processing system, the perfect combination of the three can give the best color.
So, is the ink curve important in actual production?
Many users of UV flat panel printers always ask whether the device software is equipped with ink curve before purchasing. They feel that they have to have a curve setting in mind before buying. Ink curves are not so important for character printing, for diversity printing. Mass production of a specific printing of color needs to be targeted to make ink curve so that the printing effect is uniform, this will appear important ink curve. If you use a combination of good ink, good performance printing equipment, and good software, the resulting color will be ideal. UV printer whether to give ink curve, not UV printer itself and the ink quality of the basis of judgment, ink curve, is only a specific inkjet scheme!
See here, hope you can understand the meaning of ink curve, buy regular manufacturers of UV printers and specially equipped with high-quality ink, printing quality and quality can be guaranteed, and ink is not easy to appear plug damage nozzle.
