12 Standard ink types which are exclusively available only at TAMPOPRINT® AG

Both translucent and covering tampon printing inks of many different ink types and shades are used in tampon printing.

Depending on the type of material being printed, either 1- or 2-component inks have to be used for good ink resistance.

The 1-component inks dry physically as the solvent element evaporates.

Once the ink has been transferred, as well as drying physically, the 2-component inks also trigger a networking reaction.

UV tampon printing inks
have a low share of solvents. Drying takes place by means of UV light.

RDF Rotary tampon printing inks
have a low share of solvents. Drying takes place by means of UV light.

Rotary tampon printing inks "RDF" tampon printing ink with solvent "RDF" thinner

A fully revised "RDF" rotary tampon printing ink type which was developed on the basis of the experiences we have gained from our "P" and "R" ink types which have long enjoyed success on the market.

By modifying these inks, we can now offer our customers a lower cost new generation of rotary tampon printing inks ready for use with redefined solvents but without any loss in performance in terms of drying, bonding or endurance.

Can be processed as a 1- and as a 2-component ink and complies with the requirements of EN 71.

■ + good coverage on dark surfaces
■ + low ink and investment costs

■ - takes longer to dry

1.1 VDL-RDF thinner, slow drying

1.2 VDS-RDF thinner, fast drying

 

"UV-RDF" - tampon printing ink for CMYK photo printing

The ink is characterised by a considerably lower solvent proportion than other UV inks used for tampon printing.

UV ink is available in the following ink shades: white / black, standard bright colours 02-23, CMYK, gold / silver, clear lacquer.
Special ink shades can also be mixed on request.

UV ink is mixed ready for use, i.e. thinner does not normally have to be added. A corresponding additive is however provided if necessary.

Using UV inks saves you time-consuming and costly drying and since solvent does not evaporate from these inks, you can print with constant ink shades for longer periods which is particularly important to CMYK photo printing.

Furthermore, UV inks sometimes offer better bonding properties than solvent-based inks and will therefore be an interesting alternative for materials which are difficult to print in the future.

While UV tampon printing is very interesting, there will still be areas in which solvent-based inks are the preferred choice.

■ + dries immediately
■ + constant ink shade
■ + sometimes better bonding

■ - higher ink and investment costs
■ - coverage on dark surfaces
