A UV digital printer is a digital printer that uses ultraviolet (UV) curing ink for printing. It can achieve high speed, high precision and diverse printing effects during the printing process, and has strong adaptability to different types of materials. The following is the development history of UV digital printers:
Traditional ink inkjet printer stage (1990s-early 2000s): The earliest UV digital printers were developed based on traditional ink inkjet technology. The ink contains UV photosensitizer, and the ink is sprayed onto the surface of the material through the inkjet head. , and then cured using a UV light source.
System integration stage (mid-2000s-early 2010s): In this stage, UV digital printers using UV curing inks and large-size UV lamp curing systems appeared. These printers enable higher print speeds and better image quality on different types of materials.
Operation convenience stage (mid-2010s to present): In modern UV digital printers, there have been some technological improvements that make these printers easier to operate and maintain. For example, the introduction of automatic nozzle cleaning system, automatic nozzle alignment and other functions greatly improves the convenience of use of the printer.
Intelligent development stage (mid-2010s to present): With the continuous advancement of technology, modern UV digital printers also achieve more functions and optimizations with the help of the application of intelligent technology. For example, some printers can be remotely controlled and monitored through mobile APPs, making the printing process more intelligent and convenient.
In general, UV digital printers have developed rapidly in recent decades. From the initial experimental stage to today’s mature application stage, printing speed, accuracy and functionality have been greatly improved. With the further development of technology and market, the application prospects of UV digital printers in various industries will be broader.
