Luminescent ink consists of luminescent pigments,inks, organic resins, organic solvents and additives.

Ithas a wide range of applications, such as printing luminous signs, luminous films, and most luminous faucets. But do you know how to choose the right ink and the right luminous pigment to make a good luminous ink?

Of course, it also depends on your specific application.What should we pay attention to before using luminous ink?

1.  How to choose the right ink?

It is well known that luminous pigments need to be added to transparent inks to obtain better luminous effects.

Color inks can also add luminescent pigments, but the luminous brightness is much less than clear inks.

According to different printing materials, we need to choose the correct ink.

For example, ABS ink should be selected for printing ABS materials, and metal inks are also required for metal materials. Only printing materials suitable for inks are required. When printing on different materials, adhesives are sufficient.

2. How to choose the right luminous pigment?

It depends on your detailed application, and what you want to achieve.

In the actual manufacturing process, we formulate technical solutions suitable for customers according to the requirements of application, luminosity, particle size, etc. Glow powder determines quality and cost according to its luminosity and afterglow time.

3. What is the dosage of luminous pigment?

The dosage of pigment is generally 30-60% of the total amount, or the dosage of luminous pigment is determined according to the requirements of luminous brightness. The higher the content of the luminous pigment in the ink, the higher the luminous brightness and the longer the luminous time of the pattern printed with this luminescent ink.

Besides, What other points should be paid attention to?

4. In order to reduce precipitation, use high viscosity resin or anti-settling agent, stir evenly before use.

5. Do not use heavy metal compounds as additives.

6. Choose different types of transparent inks according to different substrates. For example, if the substrate is made of metal, metal ink should be used; if the substrate is made of PVC, PVC ink should be used.
