What are the advantages of using halogen heating lamps in the printing process?Fast ink drying speedDuring the printing process, the drying speed of ink is one of the key factors to improve printing efficiency. The infrared rays emitted by halogen heating lamps can penetrate the ink layer and quickly evaporate the solvent in the ink. For example, in screen printing, after printing advertising banners or T-shirts, the use of halogen heating lamps can dry the ink within a few seconds to tens of seconds, preventing the pattern from blurring or the color from bleeding, which is very important for occasions where the printed product needs to be completed quickly.
For paper printing, whether it is the printing of books, magazines or packaging materials, halogen heating lamps can also greatly speed up the drying speed of ink. Compared with natural drying, it can shorten the drying time from several hours to a few minutes, allowing the printing press to produce continuously at a faster speed, improving the overall printing output.
Improving printing qualityColor vividness and clarity: Fast-drying inks can better maintain the vividness of their colors and the clarity of patterns. Because the halogen heating lamp cures the ink in a short time, it avoids the possible smudging and diffusion of the ink in the wet state, thereby ensuring that the edges of the patterns and texts of the printed products are sharp and the color reproduction is high. For example, in high-quality album printing, accurate colors and clear patterns are crucial, and halogen heating lamps help achieve this high-quality printing effect.Enhance ink adhesion: Proper heating can make the ink adhere better to the surface of the printed material. The heat from the halogen heating lamp promotes a tighter bond between the ink and the paper, plastic or other printed media, reducing the possibility of ink falling off. This can improve the durability of printed materials that need to be stored for a long time or used frequently, such as books, labels, etc., and ensure that the printing quality remains stable over a long period of time.
