Use your brain and recall the periodic table from high school chemistry class. The periodic table contains 94 different metals. Today, we will explore a small part of metallic UV printing. Many industries rely on parts made from metal, and the ever-expanding field of drinkware relies on stainless steel containers. The demand for metal printing for signs, tools, machined parts, metal housings, and drinkware continues to rise. Fortunately, the PX-916 has a complete metal UV printing solution, whether it is through a UV flatbed printer or a cylindrical inkjet printer.
Metal Printing Pretreatment
Some metals, such as stainless steel, require pretreatment for optimal adhesion. Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metals used in drinkware and promotional products today, followed by aluminum. The recommended practice for stainless steel is flame pretreatment followed by a primer wipe.
Stainless Steel Primer Wipe-On
Wipe-On Primer is the most basic form of pretreatment, where the operator manually wipes a lint-free towel filled with primer onto the container. For stainless steel, we recommend applying a national standard primer to the towel to ensure that your product will pass the scratch, tape, and wash tests. GB Primer is an excellent choice for stainless steel and a variety of coated metals.
UV Inks for Metal Printing
Pretreatment and the right choice of ink should be considered a dynamic duo to achieve superior wear resistance. Like pretreatment, inks vary by substrate material. After wiping the flame and primer, decorate your stainless steel products with PX-916 inkjet inks for wear-resistant, high-resolution prints. The PX-916 ink line consists of cyan, magenta, yellow, black, white, and clear, which enables full-color graphics on metal products for industrial industries and barware companies, among others.
Metal Printing Presses
Metal substrates are a difficult surface to print on. However, PX-916 has an option that simplifies every step in the process. Join other businesses and enjoy PX-916's innovation in metal printing. Pretreat with a specially formulated metal primer. Print with specially formulated metallic inks on any PX-916 digital printing press.
