Application of imitation metal etching printing technology in card products

The imitation metal etching printing process is a new type of printing process detection system and apparatus developed in the traditional printing technology. The imitation metal etching printing process is to print a rough and uneven layer on a surface-smooth substrate such as gold and silver cardboard. Transparent ink, and then through a special UV lamp (UV) light source can produce an artistic effect similar to metal surface etched or frosted.

Imitation metal etching printing process can produce a special visual effect is achieved by the substrate surface of the substrate under the illumination of the light source and printed with a transparent or semi-transparent etched rough surface showing a contrast contrast to achieve a strong contrast. The imitation metal etching printing process can be printed by adopting imitation metal etching inks such as UV wrinkles, UV ice crystals, UV crystals, and UV refraction, so that the printing surface has a rich printing gradation, exquisite designs, fast drying of the surface of the printed matter, and strong abrasion resistance of the ink film. Features. At the same time, the printing process can also make the printed product surface soft, dignified, elegant, luxurious, strong three-dimensional, showing the printing art effect is difficult to achieve ordinary printing process. Imitation metal etching printing process can be applied to high-end packaging products, such as tobacco and wine packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, health products and other packaging boxes on Adobe, but also can be used for various commodity labels and various books cover, etc., in order to improve The artistic effect of the product's own grade and packaging decoration.

Today is an era in which the level of science and technology is changing with each passing day. New materials, new processes, and new technologies are constantly emerging, and new and updated products are continuously created through cross-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary fields. Card products are another type of new product developed in the traditional printing industry.

Personalized printing <br> The following describes the imitation metal etching printing process in the application and production of card products should pay attention to matters.

Card products are plastic cards that can store and record information. The production materials can be divided into polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyester (PET). The surface of the card is printed with information such as patterns and related text descriptions. The card surface can also be accompanied by a magnetic stripe, and IC chips can also be embedded inside the card. Card printing products are offset printing, screen printing or digital printing. The printing inks used in card products usually include metallic inks such as gold and silver, or printing inks such as pearlescent materials. However, since gold and silver printing inks are all made of metal materials, their anti-oxidation properties are poor, and over time, gold and silver colors are easily oxidized and discolored, losing their original metallic luster. In order to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of plate making and improve the metallic gloss of the card surface, a plastic material (PVC or PET, etc.) having metal plating produced by vacuum coating has been used. The plastic film base is provided with a vacuum coating layer, so that the surface of the plastic film base is plated with a layer of metal coating, and the metal feel is very strong and vivid, so that the card surface glitters with gold and dazzling. The biggest feature of this material is that it is not susceptible to oxidative discoloration, so that the printed surface of the card has a vivid and vivid ink structure/organization, a rich layer, and a strong three-dimensional effect. Printing on the surface of a plastic material coated with a vacuum coating must be printed with a UV light-curing printing ink, and in order to achieve the artistic effect of imitation metal etching printing, imitation metal etching ink must also be used for printing.

Imitation metal etching ink is generally made of a variety of materials such as photosensitive resin into a light-colored transparent or translucent paste or added color material made of color etching ink. For the card production process, the card surface must first be simulated from the metal-etched layout and plate-making. The imitation metal-etched layout must be carefully designed and printed from the direction of the imitation metal-etched dimple lines, the angle and the density of the reflected light and the refraction light. The packaging city must also fully consider the effect of the surface of the card on the refraction or reflection pattern of the card surface after high-temperature and high-pressure lamination, and make full use of the art design and imitation metal etching printing technology to make the surface of the card appear metal etching and hot stamping. Process production effect.

UV printing

Platemaking operation control:

At present, imitation metal etching printing processes are all made by screen printing process. The mesh number of the screen printing plate and the thickness of the photosensitive film are closely related to the fineness of the imitation metal etching ink, because the imitation metal etching ink has a certain thickness. If the number of meshes selected is too high, the ink will not easily pass through due to the small mesh size, which will cause the printing surface of the card to be unevenly inked, which will affect the effect of imitation metal etching on the surface of the card. If the mesh is selected to be too low, the mesh will be caused. Too much ink penetration makes the surface of the card unclear. CTP in China also affects the printing effect on the card surface.

Imitation metal etching card production process:

Imitation metal etching pattern artwork design, plate making (offset printing plate, screen printing plate), printing (offset printing, screen printing), drying (UV curing, infrared drying), synthesis (film, magnetic tape or mosaic IC chip), stamping (molding Cut, code, bronzing (or hot hologram), finished product inspection, packaging, storage.

Control over printing operations:

Imitation metal etching inks should be used before the card products are printed. The inks should be mixed uniformly before use to prevent the ink layer on the card surface from being uneven due to the uneven distribution of the internal materials of the ink. At the same time, we should fully consider the characteristics of silk screen imitation metal etching inks, and pay attention to the adjustment of printing pressure, squeegee angle and screen height. In order to effectively control the leveling speed of imitation metal etching ink on the card surface after printing, the viscosity of the ink must be carefully controlled when the ink ingredients are etched, and the ink is adjusted at any time in the printing process according to the actual situation. Printing to promote the formation of imitation metal etched rough surfaces. In addition, during the printing process, the running speed of the photo-curing belt and the power and temperature of the ultraviolet lamp must also be controlled so as to prevent the printed card surface from being deformed due to overheating during the process of passing through the photo-curing machine. Standards and certifications

It should also be noted that the most important feature of the processing of card products is the use of multiple sheets of plastic film that are pressed together into a whole sheet by lamination at a high temperature and a certain strength, and then die-cutting. Become a finished card. Therefore, the temperature and pressure of the lamination card should be properly controlled and adjusted during the card production process. Otherwise, the artistic effect of the imitation metal etching printing process on the card surface can be directly affected due to improper processing.

The card products produced by adopting the imitation metal etching printing process have strong golden sparkles on the surface of the card, and the metallic luster is very realistic. The printed surface of the card has bright color, full ink layer, distinct layers, obvious metal etching effect, and strong Three-dimensional and visual impact. The printing surface of the card can be rendered high-grade and luxurious, truly embodies the unique artistic effect of the imitation metal etching card, and combines the use of imitation metal etching printing technology with modern printing technology to create a new wonderful flower for the field of card making. .
