Key factors for reducing the cost of printing by UV flatbed
UV flat-panel machines are used in more and more high-precision and high-efficiency printing applications. Manufacturers buy UV flat-panel machines to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and obtain profit quickly. However, if not used properly, they are not controlled in the production process. Cost, it is easy to add a lot of unnecessary costs in the production process, resulting in the maximum profit. Therefore, before the production, the enterprise should consider what hidden costs exist in the printing process. In terms of the simple printing cost of the UV flatbed printer, it is basically the ink cost per printing method. The cost of the ink also has the following factors:
1, the choice of DPI, that is, the resolution. To put it simply, the number of dots per square inch of inkjet, the more points you spray, the more full the picture, the more ink you consume, and the difference between the points can be different by half, so if the product requirements are produced The accuracy and effect are not so high, you can choose low PASS printing, in addition to reducing the cost of ink, the production efficiency will be faster.
2, whether to spray white ink, there is a need to spray white background on the market, there is also a process of white paint, of which the price of white UV ink is generally higher than the color UV ink, if the same DPI inkjet, then you spray one more Layer white ink, the cost will be much higher, so if the environmental requirements are not high, and the demand is large, you can choose to use white paint instead of white ink, of course, white paint still contains some harmful substances, so choose instead Also need to be cautious.
3, if you print a full color pattern, the cost of printing ink is about 5-6 yuan. If you do the background wall, the cost will be much higher if you want to emboss the effect. If the amount of relief products is large, you can The previous engraving device engraves the pattern on the material and then prints the pattern using a UV flatbed printer.
4. Maintenance of equipment. This is a situation that many companies ignore. After all, Lecolor UV flatbed printers are high-precision printing equipment. Although their stability is already strong, many times, if maintenance is not in place, it will easily lead to the production process. If you have a small problem, if the equipment is not properly maintained, it will not be able to produce normally. It will not only affect the increase of the scrap rate of the produced products, but also waste materials, and even more afraid of affecting the delivery date, which will undoubtedly increase the hidden costs. Therefore, the maintenance of equipment is also very important.
In the UV printing industry, more and more people are joining the UV printing industry. At the same time, because of the increasingly fierce competition, the cost of manufacturers has been further compressed, so it is said that reducing costs and improving profits can be in this industry. It is not eliminated inside.
