How to choose UV ink? Full analysis of hard vs soft UV ink
With the booming development of the "uv printing" market, the choice of **UV ink (uv ink)** has become the focus of every user. Different materials and different application scenarios have different requirements for ink performance.
Taking our OCBESTJET independently developed **250ml soft UV ink** as an example, it is especially suitable for **Epson DX5, DX7, XP600, TX800 nozzles**, and performs excellently when printing soft materials.
The difference between soft and hard UV ink:
| Features | Hard UV ink | Soft UV ink |
| Flexibility | Poor, suitable for hard plates | Excellent, can be used for curved surfaces |
| Adhesion | Strong (hard plates) | Strong (soft materials) |
| Application range | Acrylic plates, metals, glass | TPU, leather, soft films, soft PVC |
| Cost | Medium | Relatively high (due to complex formula) |
| Used nozzles | Epson, Ricoh, etc | Epson DX5 DX7 XP600, etc. |
When choosing **uv printer ink**, users need to distinguish whether flexible properties are required based on specific uses (such as "uv screen printing ink" replacement scenarios). If your printing object is a mobile phone case, leather handbag, advertising soft film, etc., it is recommended to choose OCBESTJET's **soft UV ink**.
