Flexible setting of printing quantity, style, and effect.







Printing wood grain decorative surfaces with 3D effects, using UV ink composed of light curing resin (prepolymer), reactive diluents, photoinitiators, colorants, additives, etc; The print between the nozzle and the substrate is a "non-contact" printing method, which uses electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet light to rapidly solidify the UV ink droplets ejected by the micro piezoelectric action of the nozzle crystal shaking and squeezing on the surface of the substrate. Through the multi-layer UV ink solidification deposition of UV inkjet printing, a 3D three-dimensional decorative wood grain texture with clear patterns, strong layering, full color, and high realism is formed on the printing surface of low-quality boards such as density boards, planing boards, and finger joints


During the printing process, UV ink is exposed to UV LED ultraviolet light, and the photoinitiator absorbs light photons, generating free radicals and initiating polymerization reactions of prepolymers. The polymer molecules interact with each other to form a network like solid structure. After the free radicals lose their activity, the chain growth stops and the ink is completely cured. The UV LED curing method can be used for customized flooring and furniture, as well as for large-scale batch production of boards

More green, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient.

 




At present, UV inkjet printing decorative wood grain on the market has problems such as distortion, low printing efficiency, and mismatched surface properties of wood grain, which affect the application of UV LED curing technology in wood products such as artificial boards, finger jointed boards, low-quality solid wood, flooring, and furniture





Youweixing Digital Printing UV LED Curing Solution, fromWood grain digital image, printing process scheme, and product interface processingThree aspects provide better solutions

 



Wood grain digital image

Ensure the decorative function of printing wood texture on the surface of the board

Reasonable printing process plan

Utilize existing printing technology to configure hardware and software, so that the printing effect and speed can meet the needs of industrialization

Interface processing

The bonding between the surface of different materials and the UV wood grain layer directly affects the surface performance of printed decorative wood grain

 







In the context of the global development of Industry 4.0, "intelligence" has become the theme in the development strategy of "Made in China 2025". In the home furnishing industry, especially in customized home furnishings, the size specifications, material colors, and styling of each order are different. Adopting the traditional customized production mode is costly, inefficient, and has a long production cycle. To achieve large-scale customized production of personalized home furnishings, intelligent manufacturing technology will inevitably become the key
