Leather industry

Personalized leather painting patterns significantly increase the value of leather products and expand the development space of the leather industry. Leather painting requires low-temperature resistance, dry and wet rubbing resistance, tensile strength, and minimal odor. There are mainly three printing methods: UV printing, weak solvent printing, and latex ink printing.

Weak solvent printing: Advantages: Good adhesion; Disadvantages: The handling of self-color is the problem

Latex ink printing: Advantages: Light odor; Disadvantages: Poor adhesion, and the white treatment is also complicated

Leather UV printing: Can print white, and the white color and colored varnish can be printed in one step. Disadvantages: Odor and adhesion problems

Some users have reported that the UV printing of leather has poor adhesion and is prone to cracking. This is actually because they did not use the special UV ink for leather.

Because leather is a soft material, the commonly used inks will cause cracking and peeling, and also cannot meet the bending requirements. Therefore, special soft ink should be used.

Soft ink can firmly adhere to the leather, and it cannot be scraped off by fingernails, does not fade, and has strong waterproof, sun protection, and wear resistance properties. It can easily pass the bending test 200,000 times without cracking or peeling at -20 degrees Celsius.

With the increasing demand for leather products in the market, inkjet printing technology is also constantly developing. Then, personalized leather customization printing is no longer a problem. Just one UV printer can easily handle it.
