What should I do if the uv flatbed printer ink becomes sticky in winter?

Table Of Contents

In the winter, often easy to make uv flatbed printer ink thickened, and the viscosity will also become relatively large when some users use thinner or ink transfer oil to adjust its viscosity.

Micolorprint senior engineers suggest that it is best not to do so.

The ink thickens in winter because of the change in temperature, not because the nature of the ink itself has changed. If the use of thinner or ink oil changes the basic performance of the ink, which will affect the quality of the print, the quality of the printed image will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, when the ink thickens due to the temperature, you can use the following methods to solve.

The first is the original ink on the heater or warm room.

Make it slowly warm up and gradually return to its original state.

Secondly, the emergency use of boiling water for external heating.

The specific method is to pour boiling water into the basin, and then pour the original barrel of ink into the water, but to prevent water vapor dip, wait until the water temperature drops to about 27 ℃, when removed, open the lid, and stir well to use. Maintaining the workshop temperature at about 27 ℃ is appropriate.
