Print 101: Conventional Inks Highly versatile and cost-effective, conventional inks are a printing staple. They utilize evaporating solvents to speed up drying times and drive deep pigment penetration across many different paper stocks. #print101 #cedargraphics

Print 101: What is a solvent? 🧪💧 Pigments provide the color, but solvents act as the liquid binder that transfers them to the paper. By adjusting the solvent blend, press teams control drying speed, ink flow, and cost efficiency for a flawless run. #Print101 #CedarGraphics

Print 101: Pigment vs. Dye 🧪🎨 Ever wonder why commercial print jobs resist fading? It’s all about the pigments. Unlike liquid dyes, solid pigments offer superior fade resistance and incredible longevity on the page.  #print101 #cedargraphics #printdesign #pigment

Does UV ink need a top coat? Unlike regular inks, UV inks cure instantly & are more resistant to scratching & marking. An aqueous coating is only added for a specific finish, like high-gloss or ultra-matte. #print101 #commercialprinting #printindustry #uvprinting #printingtips
UV ink usually doesn't need a top coat unless a gloss/matte finish is desired; it cures instantly and resists scratches.

Print 101: UV inks cure with ultraviolet light instead of oxidation, meaning sharper edges, more vibrant color, and the ink sits ON the substrate instead of soaking in. The difference is visible. 🖨️ #Print101 #Printing #UVInk
