We get asked lots of questions about the world of Wide Format on a daily basis. At Signmaster we are here to help and our lovely team of experts have pulled together a handy A to Z guide answering the most frequently asked questions. Introducing the Signmaster A to Z of Wide Format This is a series of helpful blogs, guides and articles that we hope you will find useful. We will post a new blog every fortnight and we’d love to know what you think so please comment or drop us an email. We’d love to hear from you! ## This week it’s all about Ink ![I is for Ink Blog](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/I-is-for-100-300x300.jpg?width=300&height=300&name=I-is-for-100-300x300.jpg) In the Wide Format world there are various Ink Technologies available. At Signmaster we specialise in Solvent, Eco Solvent and UV Ink technologies. Sign-makers and Wide Format printers use all these technologies every day to make bright and colourful banners, stickers, signage, vehicle wraps and more but below is a brief rundown on how the different technologies actually work. ## **Solvent Ink** **Solvent is an oil-based solution that holds the pigment and resin.** **How does it work?** - Solvent bites into the media and deposits the pigment which is then evaporated or flashed off using heat leaving the pigment behind. - Not much heat is required to evaporate the carrier. - The durability is 5 – 7 years outdoor. - VOCS (volatile organic compounds) are present so some ventilation may be required. - The oil-based solution is corrosive so heads can easily clog. **Advantages** - Fade-resistant - Waterproof - Resistant to abrasion - Can be used on un-coated banner and vinyl ## **Eco-Solvent Ink** **Eco-Solvent is still and an oil-based solution that holds the pigment and resin, but uses more refined mineral oils (ether extracts).** However, this does not make it ecologically sound! It just means there is less / lower levels of solvent in the ink. **How does it work?** - Solvent evaporates or is flashed off using heat leaving the pigment behind. - Not much heat is required to evaporate the carrier. - It takes longer to dry/evaporate than full solvent. - Alcohol and glass cleaners can remove the ink. - As solvents are aggressive and absorbed into the substrate/media they can impact on the integrity of vinyl and depending on ink coverage cause the vinyl to thin and contract. This is a consideration for some wall graphics and vinyl applications. **Advantages** - Less need for ventilation. - Lower maintenance than solvent due to being less aggressive. ![Solvent Ink](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Solvent-300x135.jpg?width=300&height=135&name=Solvent-300x135.jpg) ## **UV Ink** **UV ink is made up of mainly oligomer and monomer acrylate resins along with photo initiators. Fancy!** **How does it work?** - Small compounds of molecules and complex molecules from acrylic resins carry the pigment. - When this composition is exposed to UV light it hardens and encapsulates the pigment in a ‘dry ink film’. - The carrier is not evaporated unlike Solvent and Latex. It is cured / hardened using either LED or mercury arc lamps. - As the ink is cured as soon as it is laid down, it cures before the ink spreads and locks the ink in place. As the carrier isn’t evaporated and a ‘hard ink film’ is created, 3D textures and finishes are achievable. **Advantages** - Adheres well to most surfaces. - Less ink is used as it is not absorbed into the substrate. - Vibrant prints and dense colours. - Can be built up to create a 3D / textured effects to mimic embossing - Ink comes out completely dry – Allowing Instant Finishing! - Available with different elasticity attributes. - However, remember slower print times and shorter shelf life on inks **Cross section of a UV-curable ink drop:** (figure 4) When the ink drops land on the media, a layer containing the colorant sticks to the media surface. Unlike solvent, the colorant does not evaporate but it is instantly hardened by intense UV light polymerization (curing). This leaves a durable film covering the media. ![UV Printing Ink Technology](https://blog.signmaster.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/UV-300x121.jpg?width=300&height=121&name=UV-300x121.jpg) **For more information or prices of the INK we supply please visit our website** [**https://www.signmaster.co.uk/inks-media/**](https://www.signmaster.co.uk/inks/) [facebook-f icon](https://www.facebook.com/SignmasterUK) [twitter icon](https://twitter.com/Signmaster_UK) [instagram icon](https://www.instagram.com/signmastersystems/) [linkedin-in icon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/signmaster-systems-limited/) [youtube icon](https://www.youtube.com/@SignmasterTechnical) ### Posts By Topics -
