According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, the print head is an essential component of the digital printing process, and various types are available in the market. Piezoelectric and thermal print heads are the most common types of print heads used in digital printing. The piezoelectric print head is suitable for printing on a wide range of substrates and produces fine droplets ranging from 1-100 picoliters. On the other hand, thermal print heads are suited for printing on paper, as they use heat to propel ink onto the substrate. They are capable of producing higher print speeds and are ideal for large volume printing. Moreover, the digital printing has become the preferred printing method for the printing industry, and the demand for printing on different surfaces has grown significantly in Singapore. Print heads have been instrumental in enabling digital printing on various surfaces such as plastic film or foil, release liner, glass, textile, paper, and ceramic.
The UV-Cured ink is a popular choice for digital printing in Singapore as it is environmentally friendly and safe to use. Unlike traditional inks, UV-Cured inks are cured with UV light instead of heat, allowing them to dry faster. This ink type is ideal for printing on rigid materials such as glass, metal, wood, and acrylic. It produces bright, vivid colors that are long-lasting and resistant to fading. The only downside to UV-Cured ink is that it requires specialized equipment to cure the ink, which can be expensive.
