Ink Properties
The Uvijet VN ink range is a highly functional UV ink
within a volatile carrier designed for piezo drop-on-
demand printheads. The carrier is flashed off to pin the
ink before it is fully cured under a low intensity UV
lamp. This results in a low build, durable ink film that
requires no degassing before finishing and shipping in
contrast to eco solvent inks.

Curing
Excellent cure and adhesion are achieved immediately
upon print and UV curing. However, maximum
adhesion, chemical, scuff and scratch resistance may
not be obtained until 24 hours after initial curing. The
actual level of cure will depend upon ink thickness,
substrate and age of the UV curing lamps. Superior
through cure may be obtained by reducing the print
speed by selection of an alternative print mode to
increase the overall UV dose.

Pre-production Tests
Uvijet VN ink is formulated to give excellent adhesion to
most major brands of banner and self-adhesive vinyls;
performance however can vary across media types.It is
therefore strongly recommended that all substrates are
tested before a commercial run.

Plastics
Some plastic substrates may contain lubricants which,
like plasticisers, may impair adhesion and block
resistance for a considerable time after printing.

Outdoor Use
Accelerated weathering tests have been carried out in a
Xenon Arc Weatherometer set to the SAEJ 1960
Standard. Under these conditions the accelerated
weathering of Uvijet VN inks equates to approximately
24 months outdoor exposure in a temperate climate
such as Northern Europe.

Storage
Uvijet VN ink should not be stored in direct sunlight or
near heat sources and should be kept away from
peroxides. For optimum shelf-life, products should be
stored at moderate temperatures between 5
