Abstract

The invention relates to a delayed ink curing method of a UV ink-jet printer, which comprises the following steps: a. closing a movable shielding plate of a UV lamp of an ink jet module on the ink jet printer; b. starting printing, enabling the ink jet module to advance towards a set direction, and providing ink on a workpiece; c. after the ink supply of the ink jet module in the set direction is finished, a movable shielding plate of the UV lamp is opened, so that the UV lamp can irradiate a workpiece; and d, making the ink jet module move back to supply ink at the next stage, so that the ink on the workpiece is irradiated by the UV lamp after the ink jet module moves back.

Description

Delayed ink curing method for UV inkjet printers

technical field

The invention relates to an ink curing method, in particular to a method for delaying ink curing by increasing the ink reflection area and then irradiating with a UV lamp, so as to increase the gloss of the ink and form a bright surface effect.

Background technique

In the peripheral equipment of the computer or printing industry, the printer seems to have become one of the necessary basic equipment. In addition to printing documents, jobs and reports, with the advancement of color inkjet technology, inkjet printers can be used Different color ink cartridges spray different concentrations of colors at the same position to produce the desired color. Therefore, it is no longer a dream to use a printer to print out a photo-quality level.

For the printing industry, inkjet products are the trend of the world. For a small number of various products, inkjet printers can be used to print in a timely manner, which saves the time and work of making color separation screens. In this era of competition is more advantageous.

Nowadays, when the UV inkjet printer is printing out, the inkjet module is equipped with a UV lamp to provide curing output on the ink on the workpiece, but after the ink is cured immediately, the gloss is often not enough, and Therefore, how to combine ink curing and improve output color brightness has always been a problem to be solved in this field.

Contents of the invention

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for delaying ink curing of a UV inkjet printer that increases ink gloss to form a bright output effect.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, a kind of delayed ink curing method of UV inkjet printer provided by the present invention, it comprises the following steps: a, close the movable shutter of the UV lamp of an inkjet module on inkjet printer; B, start Printing, making the inkjet module advance in a set direction, and provide ink on a workpiece; c, when the inkjet module has finished supplying ink in the set direction, turn on the activity of the UV lamp Shutter, so that the UV lamp can be irradiated to the workpiece; and d, the inkjet module is moved back to carry out the ink supply of the next stage, so that the ink on the workpiece is delayed until the inkjet module resumes movement before being irradiated by the UV lamp .

Detailed ways

The above and other technical features and advantages of the present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to Fig. 1-Fig. 4, illustrated content is the embodiment of the delayed ink curing method of UV inkjet printer of the present invention, and it comprises the following steps:

a, close the shutter 12 of the UV lamp 11 of an inkjet module 1 on the inkjet printer;

b. Start printing, make the inkjet module 1 move forward in a set direction, and provide ink on a workpiece 2;

c. After the inkjet module 1 has finished supplying ink in the set direction, open the movable shutter 12 of the UV lamp 11, so that the UV lamp 11 can irradiate the workpiece 2; and

d. Make the inkjet module 1 move back to carry out the next stage of ink supply, so that the ink 3 on the workpiece 2 is delayed until the inkjet module 1 moves back before being irradiated by the UV lamp 11 .

Wherein, the UV lamp 11 is arranged on both sides of the inkjet module 1, and the opening and closing of the UV lamp 11 and the movable shutter 12 are controlled by a controller (not shown), and the The above-mentioned UV lamp 11 is to turn on the illumination when the shutter 12 is opened.

Therefore, during implementation, when the inkjet module 1 finishes advancing in a set direction to supply ink to the workpiece 2, the UV lamp 11 and the movable shutter 12 are opened under the control of the controller. Before the inkjet module 1 returns to move, sufficient time has been obtained for flattening, so after the inkjet module 1 moves back and irradiates the UV lamp 11, not only the purpose of curing can also be achieved, but the reflection area of the ink 3 increases after being flattened, It increases the glossiness, and then forms a bright effect.

To sum up, according to the descriptions and illustrations disclosed above, the present invention can clearly achieve the expected purpose of the invention, providing a method for delaying ink curing of UV inkjet printers that increases the glossiness of the ink to form a bright output effect.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are only illustrative rather than restrictive to the present invention. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present invention, but all will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
