UV inks are specialized printing inks that cure or dry quickly when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. This process allows for vibrant colors and sharp details, making them ideal for various printing applications, including packaging, labels, and promotional materials. Unlike traditional inks, UV inks do not absorb into the substrate, which helps maintain the integrity of the printed image. They are also more environmentally friendly, as they emit fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the printing process. This makes UV inks a popular choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.
