"The field of UV printing technology will continue to develop in the future. An analysis of the development trend shows that UV printing technology is one of the future growth points of the printing industry." ——Zhang Guorui, an active advocate of UV printing technology in China The printing industry has been stirred up by waves of UV printing technology. All products are trying to use UV printing technology to improve their status. There is no doubt that the entire printing industry is undergoing a development centered on UV printing technology. However, in this developmental war, how heavy is the power of consumables? How much attention has the rise of domestic consumable manufacturers received? Old manufacturers are still standing in the market, and new ones stand out. We are trying to find out in all kinds of UV printing consumable production enterprises, who can promote the development of UV printing consumable technology? Who can bring new elements to the rapid development of the UV printing consumables industry? In the competition with foreign products, the demand for "advancedness" has always been the most basic factor for domestic enterprises to continuously pursue progress. These basic factors have formed a new batch of UV printing consumables in China in this era of innovation as the main line ... ｜ In the late 1980s, UV inks were introduced to China just to print a small card—on these hard substrates that do not absorb ink, proceed quickly. At that time, we only knew that this UV printing technology brought us only fast drying, which is very suitable for hard printing materials. And now, the UV printing technology with millions of users is constantly expanding: it helps users improve efficiency and reduce costs; UV printing printing short version is flexible, high efficiency, and high efficiency is any other printing technology Incomparable; compared with ordinary inks, UV inks have no VOC pollution; in addition, UV printing can be applied in different fields, both liquid UV inks and hybrid UV inks; in terms of adhesion of the printing material surface, UV The ink is better than ordinary ink, and it is more flexible, and can be cured offline after the image is printed, without affecting the image quality. UV printing is moving into new areas. Like the thriving UV printing, UV printing consumables also play high-profile notes. Since previous years, UV printing has begun to play an increasingly important role in promoting product sales. During this time, the sales of printing plants applying UV printing technology have almost tripled, leaving competitors in the traditional offset printing market unmatched. European equipment manufacturers predict that the annual growth rate of UV printing models will reach 7%, the annual growth rate of UV curing devices will reach 10%, and the fastest growth rate of UV inks and varnishes will reach 14%. The world's demand for UV printing is rising. According to the statistics of the largest ink manufacturer in the United States, the annual consumption of UV ink and varnish in the local market has increased by about 15%. This number is almost 10 times the annual growth rate of ink consumables in the traditional offset printing market. Once mixed ink was once seen as a flash in the pan, but now it is more and more respected by the market. Compared with the situation that the development of UV printing consumables in the world has stabilized, the Chinese market is on the cusp of development. Unlike ordinary printing, when printing with UV ink, the ink roller, blanket, fountain solution, etc. must be UV-specific, because UV ink will damage the ordinary ink roller or blanket, and ordinary fountain solution cannot be compatible with UV ink. match. Mixed UV ink can use the original ink roller and blanket, because of the UV ink component, it is impossible to damage the ink roller, but the printing can be carried out normally. When using pure UV ink, the UV lamp must be installed after each unit. To use the mixed ink, only one UV lamp needs to be installed at the position after the four-color printing, and three UV lamps should be installed after the coating process. When using mixed inks, the next color can be printed (wet pressure wet) before the previous color is dry. After the inks of all colors are printed, the UV lamp is used for curing. Based on the above factors, the UV printing technology has also put forward higher requirements for related supporting products. Hard to find domestic products If you enumerate the brands of UV printing consumable products, you may have countless answers ranging from inks and varnishes to accessories and cleaning agents. No one can deny that, like UV printing technology, most of the current UV printing The production status of consumables manufacturers is on a large scale, and the UV printing consumables market seems to show steady growth and tend to be mature and stable. So, is this true? After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that from UV ink manufacturers, such as Tianjin Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., Hanghua Ink Chemical Co., Ltd. and other well-known domestic manufacturers, their UV products have added "joint venture" ingredients, to blanket manufacturers such as Shanghai Meiji Rubber Products Co., Ltd. and other well-known blanket manufacturers, the main technical content and production processes are occupied by the joint venture company. UV printing consumable products are almost monopolized by foreign or joint venture brands. Not only are there few domestic manufacturers, but the products can only hover at the low-end level. Raw material problems What kind of support do we need to print a good UV print? High-end inks, high-end varnishes, high-end rubber rollers and blankets, and even high-end UV printing equipment, and the backing of high-end products rely on imports. There is no doubt that the core technology of UV printing consumables lies in the supply of raw materials. The core material of UV ink is: oligomer, also known as prepolymer, is a film-forming substance, its performance plays an important role in the curing process and the properties of the cured film; the reactive diluent, also known as crosslinking monomer A functional monomer whose role is to adjust the viscosity, curing speed and properties of the cured film; a photoinitiator, which absorbs radiant energy and produces a chemically changed active intermediate with a polymerization initiating substance, is any UV curing system The main ingredients required; additives, mainly used to improve the performance of the ink. The supply of these core materials is still mainly imported in high-end products. In terms of rubber rollers and blankets, because UV ink has certain corrosivity, the products must have high corrosion resistance. Obviously, in the immature Chinese rubber roller and blanket industry, it is difficult for our enterprises to find a solution to this The breakthrough point of the problem. Because in the production, the choice of rubber compound is very important, and most domestic enterprises with a certain scale still rely on quantity to win, and the supply of rubber compound is a bottleneck. Among the chemical materials such as cleaning agents, Shanghai Vigra Printing Equipment Co., Ltd. is an agent company specializing in the sale of a well-known foreign printing cleaning agent brand. The products occupy a considerable share in the high-end cleaning product market. . break the ice The unfavorable factors of domestic UV printing consumable products that are difficult to support the facade first come from the technical inability to break through. When UV technology brings enough joy to the printing market, domestic UV printing consumable manufacturers have seen the development trend in this field and have cooperated with foreign companies, but behind the cooperation, has it brought a real technical improvement for domestic products? As can be seen from consumable production enterprises that already have a considerable scale, the injection of foreign elements, in addition to bringing huge processing operations, in technology and management, we can hardly see the "made in China" mark. It can be seen that the development of domestic UV printing consumable products is closely related to the development of other industries such as chemical industry. Only when their power continues to expand can they in turn promote the development of UV printing consumable technology. In terms of cost, foreign products also have considerable advantages. On the one hand, large-scale production has reduced the cost of products; on the other hand, with the opening up of domestic trade, the import tax has been gradually reduced, and the price has been lower, which is very popular among users. The above two main factors have suppressed the development of Chinese enterprises. Although the production situation of domestic enterprises is not optimistic, domestic UV printing consumable products have developed by leaps and bounds in the production and processing technology in recent years, and many domestic enterprises stand out. In some ink production enterprises, in addition to the import of main raw materials, the ink production process is close to the world's advanced level, and has produced low-end UV inks. The UV photo varnish independently developed by Lucky Polymer Material Technology Development Co., Ltd. was also introduced to the market a few days ago. The UV printing plate material products developed by Lucky Second Glue are also comparable to foreign products. Among the rubber roller products, Beihua Jiuyin Technology Co., Ltd. and other undercurrents are surging. Like ink manufacturers, without any market promotion, their products are quickly applied nationwide. The company has high-quality talents and strong academic background In terms of rubber, the quality of the product is improved. There is also the China Science and Technology Co., Ltd., which has already taken root, has passed the international FOGRA certification ?? The development of China's UV printing consumables industry has entered a critical period. The speed of industrial development has slowed, the rationality of industrial investment has increased, and the entire industry is gradually maturing. In this process, the constraints that accompanied the development of the industry have gradually surfaced, how to cast off the shadow of "increasing without increasing efficiency"? Facing the continuous downturn and the saturation of the UV printing consumables industry market, who can become a booster for the development of the industry? The transformation of China's UV printing consumables industry calls for the development of core technologies and new management styles. Whether the new forces of domestic UV printing will bring a series of technological innovations, business model innovations, and even management concept innovations, we look forward to it! 9 Zone Pocket Spring Mattress,8 Inch Memory Foam Mattress,Pocket Spring Coil Bed Mattress,9 Zone Pocket Spring Latex Mattress HESHAN HAIMA FURNITURE CO., LTD , https://www.springmattress.com
