UV Ink – Quality Inks for UV Systems
UV ink cures immediately during the printing process by means of LED technology, delivering an instantly durable print result. This gives you brilliant colors without any drying time on the most diverse materials. Whether rigid or flexible target material – with the right UV ink you reliably cover your individual application needs.
With UV ink, the right formulation for your target material is what counts, in order to achieve a reliable result on rigid as well as flexible surfaces. In the UV Ink category, Print Equipment offers you several ink systems for your needs. In the UV Ink category you'll find the right ink for your workflow.
What defines UV ink?
UV ink is applied during the printing process and cured immediately by means of an integrated LED lamp. A suitable ink formulation is decisive for reliable adhesion to your specific target material.
The typical use of UV ink is clearly structured:
- The ink is applied precisely to the target material via the print head
- An integrated LED lamp cures the ink immediately during the printing process
- Depending on the formulation, a particularly scratch-resistant or particularly flexible surface is created
- The finished print result is ready for use directly after curing
UV ink thus ideally complements our UV direct printing systems and is a sensible addition to our UV DTF range.
Why UV ink is indispensable
UV ink plays an important role for an instantly durable, brilliant print result. Only with a suitably formulated ink can reliable adhesion be achieved on rigid as well as flexible materials.
The most important advantages include:
- Instant curing: No waiting time thanks to LED technology
- Material-specific formulation: Developed specifically for rigid or flexible surfaces
- Single-color containers: Colors can be reordered individually instead of as a fixed set. Your individual target material is decisive for the choice.
- Non-HAP formulation: Without hazardous air pollutants, no air purifier necessary
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular in signage and advertising, sports, tourism and the gift items sector
This makes UV ink indispensable both for rigid promotional items and for flexible applications.

Important criteria are:
- Target material: Choose between Hard and Flex ink according to your material properties
- Printer compatibility: Check which ink fits your specific printing system
- Container size: Look for the right fill volume for your consumption
- Color configuration: Clarify whether white and clear varnish ink are needed for your application
