Solvent Ink VS ECO-solvent Ink - Do You Know the little Difference of Them?

Hello, good afternoon, my dear friend! A new week start again, today is cloudy in Nanjing, then rainy just now. After the introduce of how to choose good sublimation ink for epson printers in the last articles. Today the topic is about the know the difference about solvent ink and eco-solvent ink. Read the following and I will share you more. And then you will know how to choose for you business.

What is Solvent and eco solvent?
Solvent and eco solvent is a commonly used term when it comes to flex and vinyl printing. Eco solvent is a printing mechanism which is ecologically safe and used mainly for indoor applications. Normally solvent ink are harsh and are associated with definite odor i.e. Smell making them less likely to be used indoor.

What is Eco solvent printing?
Eco solvent printing doesn't have any harmful ingredients and it is biodegradable. Being biodegradable means it can break down and absorb in the human body without any complications. You need not take without any smell to be automatically labelled as eco solvent. Odor is just one of the advantage of the eco material but there are lot many more as well. One definite advantage which we can associate with the solvent printing is that it can be used to print on wide variety or material. It is cheaper to print on this media.

What is solvent ink?
Solvent ink does exhumes fumes and it can be harmful to human. Outdoor banner or hoarding though is bigger but it is at such a height and distance that damage is very much limited.

Eco solvent media is a high resolution print where printing cost is more. Design artwork and images required should be high in resolution with no pixelation. We can expect very high quality print which is not the case with the solvent media. This is advised to used on good quality media which absorb the color well.

We use eco media mainly for indoor environment though it can be used for outdoor as well. As solvent type is made to last under outdoor weather condition, there is hardly any major issue. We use them for hoarding, banner, shop board, canopy, standees etc. All store indoor branding, POP displays, merchandise branding on the other hand is done on eco solvent.

From design perspective you have to ensure that there is high level of detailing, color profiling and better image resolution. On the other hand outdoor media like hoarding etc are made to be seen from a distance we can use large image and font size. This will make it more readable. Far distance viewing will make no pixelation visible from a distance. Big MNC and corporate design team often provide the artwork in high resolution preferably vector format where ever possible apart from embedded images, so that printers can adjust the resolution as required for these 2 types of media.

Higher the pass more pronounced should be the impression. More the number of pass will not make low resolution image print better. Eco solvent printing machine typically do not have any pass they are printed in high resolution with single pass only.

Okay, these all above are my share about the differences of solven ink & eco solvent ink. If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time. We will provide you the best quality product and service. Hope my article can be useful to you. Thank you for your reading.

Solvent and Eco-solvent Ink-----Do You Know What's The Difference between Them?

  Hi, Nice to see you. After the introduce of the digital inkjet printer in the last two articles, today the topic is about the ink. Mostly, I shared you about the sublimation ink. Then in order to let you now more about the digital inkjet print, in the next words, I will show you some difference between the solvent and eco-solvent ink. 
  Firstly, we all should know that for different printer and printings we should use the different ink. For example, for the sublimation printing we should only use the sublimation ink. While for the eco-solvent printing we can only use the eco-solvent ink. Keep reading and know the detailed differences.

Eco-solvent ink
  Firstly, just from the name we can see that this eco-solvent ink is  environmentally safe. This is also the biggest advantage of it. It doesn’t contain harmful ingredients like cyclohexanone. This means that this type of ink is biodegradable. 
  What's more, from the side of the application we can see that It can easily be broken down in the human body without any harm. An Eco solvent ink dries fast and offers a range of colors. Eco-solvent ink is ideal for billboards and other forms of signage. 
  Finally, It is durable and is capable of adhering to covered or uncoated surfaces. It is the best way to save money by investing on this innovation. There are several types of printers which use this type of ink.

Solvent ink
  The biggest advantage of the solvent ink is that they are very cheap. This is the reason why it is mostly used in many parts of the world. It does not fade over time giving it a reason for its popularity. We have three types of solvent ink namely the carrier fluid, resin and pigment. It is oil based, but it dissolves very fast. In order to produce the best quality, it is applicable in powder form. This type of ink works well in plastic or vinyl substances. This is because it’s polar. The solvent is not eco-friendly because its ink is oil based. On the other 
hand, it is non-renewable. 
  

  Okay, These all above are my share about the difference between the eco-solvent ink and the solvent ink. If you have any other needs or questions welcome to contact us at any time.
