Analysis: UV inkjet ink market trend analysis

In the era of technological revolution in the transformation of digital printing methods, inkjet printing has developed rapidly. As an environmentally friendly and green printing method, UV inkjet printing has rapidly increased market share, especially in the rapid development of UV inks used in flatbed UV inkjet printing equipment.

Only 2-3 companies were involved in the UV inkjet field at the 2009 ChinaPrint exhibition four years ago, but from the second half of 2012, with the strong development of pure flatbed UV inkjet equipment, UV inkjet inks began to enter various equipment manufacturers And the end user ’s sight. At an inkjet printing exhibition in Guangzhou held in March this year, competition in the domestic inkjet printing market has taken shape. This competition is not only reflected in UV lithography equipment, but also in the application of LDE technology in the field of inkjet printing.

Compared with domestic inkjet printing, foreign inkjet printing pays more attention to the development of inkjet technology, especially the development of nozzles, UV / LED lamps, and digital inkjet inks. The development of foreign UV inks started earlier. In Europe, UV ink products totaled 20,500 tons in 2000. The Asian UV ink market started later than Europe and the Americas, but it has grown rapidly. When reviewing CHINAPRINT2009, the global ink market reached 5.8 billion US dollars. According to the latest survey report from Pira International, the global market for environmentally friendly (environmentally friendly) inks is expected to reach US $ 7.2 billion in 2014, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.5%. As far as applications are concerned, foreign countries mainly go far in some small batches and variable data printing. The domestic inkjet printing is more widely cited, for example, it has been well applied in flooring, ceramics, labels, packaging and decoration.

In the future, inkjet printing will develop in the direction of standardization, popularization, and specialization. For inkjet printing technology, whether it is nozzle technology, inkjet ink technology, UV / LED lamp technology, or inkjet printing equipment itself will be standardized. For example, in the future, the nozzle will develop in a thinner and thinner direction, and the ink dots will become smaller and smaller. According to the size of ink dots, the development of inkjet inks will also move towards standardization. After ensuring the consistency of ink dots, the color and other characteristics of inkjet inks will not change. The standardization of R & D inkjet inks and the standardization of ink curing speed will be the focus of future development of inkjet inks and one of the important directions of Agfa.

Agfa Graphic Arts has been committed to the research and development of high-quality UV inks. Not only involved in the development of inkjet equipment, but also has a dedicated ink research and development team. Agfa began developing UV inks in 1992. Its ink has passed the global ISO9001: 2000, ISO14001: 2004 environmental protection standards and toy safety standards. Agfa UV ink has the characteristics of close to zero odor and shelf life of up to 18 months. At the same time, Agfa UV ink consumption is the lowest in its class, only 4-6 grams per square meter. The 6-color Agfa UV ink can be matched with 90% of Pantone colors, and the color of the printed products can reach more than two years in outdoor. Since last year, many domestic inkjet equipment manufacturers and Agfa have carried out in-depth cooperation in UV inkjet inks. Agfa UV ink products are not only peers in terms of environmental protection, ink saving and durability, but also have a wide range of product references. The successful printing of Agfa UV inks on leather, glass, wood, metal and other substrates greatly expands the possibilities of end-user innovation and profitability.
