摘要:
An apparatus fixes ink on a substrate (S), such as in ink-jet printing. A leveling member (10,12) is positioned to contact an ink-bearing side of the substrate at a nip. A radiation source (30) is positioned to direct radiation to the ink-bearing side of the substrate at the nip, the radiation suitable for curing the ink (I) on the substrate.
摘要:
An apparatus prints and/or fixes ink on a substrate, such as in ink-jet printing with UV-curable inks. A conformable member (14) is positioned to contact an ink-bearing side of the substrate (S) at a nip. The conformable member substantially comprises a silicone-based elastomer having a conformability from about 20 shore A to about 10 shore A. A radiation source (30) directs radiation to the ink-bearing side of the substrate at the nip, the radiation suitable for curing the ink (I) on the substrate. The apparatus is particularly useful for printing onto corrugated cardboard or otherwise non-planar surfaces, since the resulting ink image is impressed uniformly onto the substrate by the conformable member without voids in the ink layer in the recesses of the non-planar surface.
摘要:
Provides is a method for forming tactile images or a combination of tactile and regular images on a flexible packaging substrate comprising: depositing an ultraviolet curable phase change ink composition comprising an optional colorant and a phase change ink vehicle comprising a radiation curable monomer or prepolymer; a photoinitiator; a reactive wax; and a gellant directly onto a flexible packaging substrate or depositing the ink onto an intermediate transfer member, in an image area to form a tactile image area or a combination of tactile image area and regular image; forming the tactile image by depositing multiple layers of the ink in locations of the tactile image area or portion thereof; when an intermediate transfer member is used, transferring the deposited ink from the intermediate transfer member to the flexible packaging substrate; and curing the ink.
