With more and more printing companies offering single printing technology services and richer hybrid printing services, various new inks have been rapidly developed under the market demand. UV curing ink is a very representative example. In the year of 2005, the global UV curing ink market continued to grow, and there are two main driving forces for its development: customers have higher and higher requirements for printing quality; The printing capacity of UV printing presses continues to grow.
Market share According to Thor Jondahl, project manager of INX International Ink, the total market value of UV-curable ink market reached US$ 360 million only in 2002, of which the market application rate of UV screen printing inks was as high as 40%. Together, sheetfed offset printing and letterpress printing together accounted for 38%. With more and more printers investing in hybrid printers, the UV-curable ink market will only increase.
Ron Zessack, UV product manager for Eco Ink & Coatings, said: The UV curable ink market has continued to grow over the past year. This is due to the quest for higher print quality in the flexographic printing market, and an increasing number of new presses are starting. With UV curable inks, UV curable inks are becoming increasingly important for the entire printing market. In particular, new hybrid presses printed with UV-curable inks have better UV curing units, allowing printers to achieve higher print speeds and better print quality.
According to Don Matthiesen, marketing manager of Eco Ink & Coatings, the market demand for a series of products such as UV-curing inks can continue to grow, which can be reflected in the continuing popularity of new UV printers in recent years. Ink printing is adaptable and stable, which can increase printing production efficiency. This is the basis for making money today. At the same time, printed matter printed with UV-curable ink is superior in durability to other printing methods, combined with high opacity combined with flexographic printing presses and white screen printing presses to achieve white opacity, UV-curable inks can be very Appropriately applied to high quality, high-productivity label products.
Steve Lundahl, product manager for the narrow-width and energy-curing group at SICPA North America, said: “We have seen the growth of the UV-curable ink market, which can be seen not only by more and more existing and potential customers. , And from the trend of continuous improvement in the production efficiency of printing machinery manufacturers in recent years can also be seen.
Gale Waller, UV/EB product manager for national sales at INX International Ink, said: “We have noticed that more and more printers are replacing equipment. They have replaced traditional single-type presses with hybrid presses. Inkjet printing is also introduced into production printing.
UV printing applications have a wide range of growth opportunities in what areas it? The answer is many printing fields including labels, folding cartons and commercial printing. Chris Morrissey, vice president of marketing at Sun Chemicals, explained: “We have found that the UV printing market is currently experiencing rapid growth in certain application areas, such as labels, plastics, multi-purpose sheetfed, and tape printing applications. In terms of UV glazing, the non-food flexible packaging plastics market is currently a prominent growth area. However, it should be noted that the folding carton, which accounts for the largest proportion of the UV printing market, is not optimistic because it is facing fierce competition from the flexible packaging and plastic container markets, and the latter two are currently not produced using UV printing.
Steve Lundahl said: “Our biggest feeling comes from the strong growth of UV printing labels. In particular, some daily-use care products, cosmetics, and various wine labels begin to use UV printing in large quantities. This brings to markets including UV-curable ink products. A strong market growth opportunity. And we are more eager to enter the largest application areas in the packaging market, including paper bags, folding cartons and shrink sleeves.
Ron Zessack has the same feeling as Steve Lundahl. He said: The growth of the UV market in the packaging of personal care products and make-up and beauty products shows the market potential of UV printing. Currently, high-definition printing, shrink sleeve packaging and thermoforming packages All are using UV printing for processing. Don Matthiesen, in conjunction with his experience, believes that UV curing inks are the most prominent in the market for paper labels and transparent labels. At the same time, he is more optimistic about the application prospects of UV printing in the medium-wide format printing market. Matthiesen believes that the rapid growth of UV printing in the field of label printing, especially in the field of thin-film labels, makes us fully confident that UV-curing inks will have a greater role in the medium- and wide-format printing market in the future.
