What are the new developments in inks? Would you like to share some suggestions on choosing inks?
Pigment ink is the new development in the digital printing industry. While this type of ink offers a range of benefits, there are also some key considerations that end-users should be aware of.
One suggestion is that pigment ink should be used with more head heights. This can help to reduce misting, which occurs when the ink settles down on the circuit and dries instead of remaining in liquid form. By using more head heights, the depth of ink can also be increased, which can enhance the quality of the prints.
End-users should prioritize the quality of the ink over the cost. While it may be tempting to opt for cheaper ink, this can result in lot-to-lot differences and compromised print quality. Choosing high-quality pigment ink can result in consistent, high-quality prints and reduce the risk of any issues or problems.
In conclusion, the development of pigment ink offers many benefits to the digital printing industry. However, end-users should also consider the importance of using the right head heights, avoiding misting, and prioritizing the quality of the ink over cost. By doing so, they can achieve high-quality prints consistently and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of their digital printing operations.
Do you think pigment ink is the future of digital textile printing?
Pigment ink is indeed the future of digital textile printing. However, it is important to use this type of ink with caution and care, as it can be sensitive and may damage the print head.
When working with pigment ink, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations. This may include using the ink with compatible printers and print heads, maintaining the appropriate temperature and humidity levels, and regularly cleaning and maintaining the equipment.
To avoid damage to the print head, it is also important to avoid using abrasive or harsh cleaning materials. Instead, use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and follow the recommended cleaning procedures.
By taking these precautions, users can ensure that they are getting the most out of their pigment ink and avoiding any potential damage to their equipment. While pigment ink may require some extra care and attention, the benefits it offers in terms of print quality and durability make it a worthwhile investment for any digital textile printing operation.
