Several unusual special inks in the printing process

Expansion ink

T-shirts, undershirts, and hats printed with expanded inks will produce a special printing effect that is now very popular. In the printing process, when the expansion ink dries, a three-dimensional three-dimensional effect is added to your design. If the expansion ink is properly used, it can be used as a low-cost alternative to produce an ornament. Effect. Not all of the printed images and fonts used on the expansion ink can produce good results. Inflated inks should be avoided when thick lines are dense or area features are close. When using thin lines or thin lines to make up the font in your design, the use of expanded ink will achieve the best results. Expanded inks come in a variety of colors, with a bright, bumpy, and fastness.

Low light ink

The low light color combines the best features of the reflective trim and the metal to create a new color. The gloss of this color is similar to that of metal, but it has a higher degree of flicker. The low gloss ink is stained white, with high hiding power, elasticity and cleanability.

Flash ink

The interior of the flash ink has a large sheet of polyester film, so that the printed product has a glittering effect and strong reflection power. Flashing ink is added with some scintillators in the paint. Generally, when the scintillator is thicker, the flash effect is better, but it is difficult to pass through the screen. This is a contradiction. For this reason, the scintillator that is finer and the flash effect is better is manufactured. The key to high-quality flash ink is, of course, higher production costs. Different from the low-light ink, the surface of the printed product after the flash ink printing is still very bright and will not become dull after cleaning. Flash inks come in many different colors. Because of the large flash polyester film, flash inks can only be used in designs that require less detail.

Pearl ink

Pearl ink has a transparent pearlescent surface. Pearl ink can also be called coral ink, because the thick print, bubbles together to form a coral-like pattern; printed thin, forming a small pearl-like, but also have a flavor. Through the ink layer, you can see the color covered by the pearl ink, and after printing pearl ink, the original color appears more glossy. Pearl ink can make a normal print vivid.

Fluorescent ink

The use of fluorescent ink can increase your attention to the printed effect. Fluorescent colors can be used well in warm-hued color designs, and can also be used in any design that wants to draw attention to others.

Black light ink

Black ink makes bright prints observed under dark conditions. This effect can only be seen in dark light. This type of printing can be applied to any situation under dark light. Black light ink is used on white or colored shirts, but color shirts need to set white as the background color first. Only in this way can this effect be well demonstrated.

Photochromic ink

The effect of the photoreactive color change ink when it is not observed indoors is almost invisible and transparent. When exposed to bright and intensely-colored sunlight in the open air, photoreactive color-shifting inks give different effects of yellow, blue, reddish purple and purple.

Reflective ink

Reflective inks contain tens of thousands of light-reflecting microspheres inside. When a beam of light, such as a headlight or flashlight, is illuminated, the light-reflecting microspheres reflect a bright flash image against the direction of the light source. Reflective inks produce a mirror-like sheen and excellent shading properties even when printed on black objects. Its color and gloss will not change, but it can also achieve the same effect as a silver-plated film. Therefore, reflective ink can be well applied in the printing of safety clothing at night. Reflective ink has 8 color effects
