Technology and Feature of UV Curable Inkjet Ink

Abstract

Two alternative curing mechanisms may be used for UV curable inkjet inks;free radical polymerization and cationic polymerization. Free radical polymerization currently dominates because of its low cost and the ease of design afforded by a wide selection of usable monomers. Cationic polymerization is a new process but has become to get many attracts because of its unique advantages. In this paper technologies and features of the UV curable inkjet inks will be reviewed.
