Analysis: Status Quo of Thermosetting Inks in China

Business News Agency August 26th In Europe and the United States, thermosetting inks have largely replaced conventional printing materials due to their numerous advantages. In addition to the use of glue and water slurries under certain customer-specified requirements, most printing companies have used thermosetting inks to process high-precision products in large quantities, and their development has been for more than 40 years. Today, thermosetting inks have entered the Chinese market for more than a decade. However, the embarrassing situation of thermosetting inks and automatic printing machines in China has only been evident from the current sales and use of fully automatic printing machines.

The benefits of using thermoset ink printing for textiles are many. This is because the content of this ink is 100%. Its dry ingredients can be kept in suspension. When the ink is heated, the resin particles begin to soften, expand and absorb all the surrounding liquid. Fused together to form a uniform ink film, this happens when the ink film reaches 149 ~ 163 °C when the boiling point of all liquid components are around 210 °C, so the curing process does not volatilize any material, printing pattern network point is clear, and other advantages More, such as: easy to store, not compacted, can not afford to hide; curing volatile matter, is environmentally friendly; can stay on the screen version will not thicken in a few days, half a year will not block version; save ink when printing Can save costs and so on.

Since thermosetting inks are suitable for high-speed production of fully automatic printing machines, we also have to pay attention to the popularization of automatic printing machines when discussing the popularity of thermosetting inks. The advantages of automatic printing machines are not limited, for example, With the ease of expansion, more stations can be added as required; installation of factory space, flexible space, and less land occupation..., but it has to make breakthroughs in the Chinese market, and there are still many constraints.

price. Judging from the current market situation, the price of fully automatic printing machines varies from hundreds of thousands to millions, especially high-end imported equipment, making it even more difficult for ordinary small and medium-sized printing companies.

performance. Although many domestic companies have developed various types of automatic printing machine products in recent years, due to the late start and low investment, the accuracy, performance, and especially stability and reliability of the equipment still need to be improved and improved. . Some newly introduced models are only used as a test of the market. Automatic printing machines must share the huge cakes in the printing market, and they must constantly improve and improve the performance of the equipment. This raises the demand for manufacturers of fully automatic printing machines. The request.

Talent and after-sales service are not good for buying. Full-automatic printing machines have high requirements on the quality of operators, and this is precisely what our country currently lacks. How to establish a sound personnel training mechanism is not just a single device for automatic printing machines, but also a big problem that plagues the entire industry. In addition, after-sales service is also a key factor that restricts the popularization of automatic printing machines. Although the imported equipment has good performance, the maintenance cost is large after the after-sales service, and the maintenance period is longer. This causes the enterprise equipment to be shut down for a long time. The great loss of the company. At this point, domestic equipment has certain advantages and is also the only advantage.
