Understanding
Solvent Ink Before
You Have a Wide
Format Printer
Before you dive into a new
wide-format printer, you must
carefully consider what you
want to accomplish and which
ink set will help you get there.
The cost of ink is a large
consideration, but there are
also the considerations of
durability, adhesion, color
brightness and
coverage.There are many
varieties of inks available in
the digital printing arena, from
solvent and eco-solvent to
latex, UV, solvent UV,
aqueous (both dye and
pigment) and dye sublimation.
All inks have a few main
components in common: a
colorant (dye or pigment) and
a carrier liquid. One of the
defining qualities is the
process where the color is
adhered to the material or
substrate.
The goal for this article is to cover the different qualities of each ink, list
some of the applications for which they are used, and briefly touch on the
pros and cons of each to help you make the best decision for your
business.
Solvent Ink
Solvent ink refers to the oil-based solution that holds the pigment and resin, and has
the advantage of being fade-resistant, waterproof and resistant to abrasion. Solvent
ink can print on many different uncoated banners and vinyls, allowing the pigment to
bond better. The solvent then evaporates, or is flashed off with the heaters on the
printer, leaving the pigment behind.This ink will typically resist fading for five to seven
years, and is excellent for use with long-term outdoor banners and vinyls. Because
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present, venting really is a must for this ink.
It does not take a lot of heat for the carrier to evaporate, and because the
oil-based solution is so corrosive, a print head with solvent ink is easily
clogged. Regular cleanings are mandatory to keep this printer running well.
Letting a solvent printer sit around for a few days without maintenance will
most likely result in the printer needing a new print head.
