Product Introduction
Compatible with conventional 80-120 mesh screens, this printer allows you to switch to a new printing system without replacing existing printing equipment; simply clean the printing plate with water.
It is suitable for common substrates such as cotton, linen, plain paper, and ABS plastic, requiring minimal surface pre-treatment and streamlining the process.
It supports either room temperature drying (24 hours) or low-temperature drying (60-80°C for accelerated drying), meeting the drying conditions of most small and medium-sized printing houses.
Small- to medium-volume textile printing: Simple graphic printing on casual apparel such as T-shirts and canvas bags, maintaining the basic appearance for up to 30 washes.
Paper packaging printing: Non-food contact packaging such as gift boxes and tote bags, requiring color vividness that meets standard requirements.
Industrial component marking: Simple logo printing on plastic casings and wood surfaces that do not require high wear resistance.
Production Process and Cost Control
The cost advantage of economical water-based ink stems from Hangzhou Guolv's mass production system: using a standardized acrylic resin base (replacing the special modified resin in the high-end series) to reduce pigment costs through bulk purchasing; optimizing grinding process parameters to shorten single-batch production time by 20%; and concentrating on producing 12 regular colors to reduce production change losses. These measures reduce production costs by over 30% while ensuring basic performance, ultimately achieving cost-performance advantages.
FAQ:
The wash fastness of economy ink is 30 times. If the customer requires 35 times, can this be improved without replacing the high-end ink series?
Small improvements can be achieved through simple process adjustments. We recommend adding a "low-temperature baking" step after printing (baking at 80-90°C for 15 minutes, ensuring the substrate can withstand this temperature) to increase wash fastness to 35-40 times. For cotton and linen substrates, 1%-2% of a specialized water-based curing agent can be added during ink mixing. After mixing the curing agent and ink thoroughly and printing, the wash fastness can be consistently achieved at over 35 times after drying at room temperature. Both solutions do not require replacing the high-end ink series, and the additional cost is only 5%-8%, far less than the 35% price difference for high-end inks.
