Mimaki Eco Solvent

Eco-solvent printing is a digital printing technology that utilizes eco-solvent inks. These inks are formulated to be less harmful to the environment compared to traditional solvent-based inks. They contain fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contribute to air pollution and health hazards.

How Does Eco-Solvent Printing Work?

1. Ink Application: The eco-solvent ink is applied to the substrate using piezoelectric printheads.
2. Drying: The ink is heated to accelerate the drying process, reducing the drying time compared to traditional solvent-based inks.
3. Curing: While the ink is drying, it undergoes a curing process, which helps to solidify the print and improve its durability.

Key Benefits of Eco-Solvent Printing

• Environmental Friendliness: Reduced VOC emissions and a smaller environmental footprint.
• Versatility: Can print on a wide range of materials, including vinyl, canvas, and polyester.
• Durability: Produces prints with excellent durability and resistance to fading.
• High Quality: Offers high-resolution, vibrant prints.
• Cost-Effective: Can be more cost-effective than traditional solvent-based printing for certain applications.

Common Applications of Eco-Solvent Printing

• Signage and Displays: Creating large-format banners, posters, and point-of-sale displays.
• Graphics and Decals: Producing vehicle wraps, window graphics, and floor decals.
• Textiles: Printing on fabrics for apparel, home decor, and industrial applications.
• Packaging: Printing on flexible packaging materials like pouches and labels.
