Do You Know How About the Environment Provide for Eco Solvent Ink?
Category : Blog , Tips & Tricks
Eco solvent inks by contrast have a relatively low VOC(volatile organic compounds) content and are even usable in studio and office environments as long as there is adequate ventilation. They have little odour so they can be used with indoor graphics and signage. They don’t attack the inkjet nozzles and components as aggressively as strong solvents, so they don’t need such constant cleaning – one or two times per week is often quoted. They require more heat to dry than strong solvents, which affects some media – generally you have to use a thicker and so more expensive vinyl to withstand the heat than you would with a strong solvent ink.
Our Sublistar ecosolvent ink also soften the plastic media and bind to it, though somewhat less than strong solvents. This means their weather, UV and scratch resistance isn’t as good. While eco solvents are widely used for outdoor work, it tends to be for applications that only need to last one or two years.
They are widely used in entry level through to mid-priced wide format inkjets, though the upper, “industrial” end of the market still has a tendency to use strong solvents for the same sort of applications. Eco solvent inks are more expensive than strong solvents, which is especially important for high volume users.
The advantage with this ink technology is that there is enough time for the pigment particles inside the ink to fall and laydown on the substrate giving it a very flat surface thus giving it a great scratch resistance and also the best reflection of the widest colour gamut you can think of.
