Solvent Printing In Delhi

Inkjet printing, desktop publishing, and large format prints – have earlier used solvent-based technology to adhere ink to the substrate. The process involves mixing pigment and a solvent to create liquid ink. The printer head then transports the liquid onto a substrate, as the solvent evaporates a hard layer of ink remains. In principle, watercolour paint serves the same way. While water used to dissolve paints is naive industrial solvents for printing are extremely toxic. To guarantee the safety of employees and customers at a printing facility, complex ventilation systems must be installed to remove and capture hazardous airborne chemicals.

The benefits of eco-solvent printing

• The ink has practically no odour as they don’t contain as many volatile organic compounds. They’ve been around since the early 2000s and formerly were designed for general signage work.
• The lack of smell is a genuine plus point for eco-solvent inks. In some solvent inks not only do you get an influential smell during the printing process, meaning you need to consider the placement of your printer, but they can also leave an odour on the published material itself. This can rule out printing onto material which will be presented or used indoors.
• Eco-solvent printing cartridges are not so damaging or depreciating, to your printer components and as such, you won’t need to do full system cleans quite so oftentimes – although as with any kind of printing you will require to do regular cleaning and maintenance of your printer from time to time.

PROS

• Solvent printers provide a very durable, scratch resistant product that is typically used for outdoor applications such as banners, vehicle graphics, etc.
• They print on uncoated materials and basically “etch” the surface of the material to bond securely to the substrate

CONS

• First is the fumes. You have to have good ventilation if you’re running a solid solvent machine.
• Complete drying can be an argument for vinyl that needs to be laminated.
