Inkjet printing on glass bottles

Full colour with organic inks. Change of artwork in minutes.

UV-cured

A typical Dekron Inkjet line consists of:

• A preflame/silane pretreatment
• A combined primer application unit and drying tunnel
• (no heating required)
• Dekron Smart Print module(s) unit to print CMYK + white + protective varnish
• OR dedicated 2 or 3 colour print heads+ protective varnish
• LED UV pinning  8 Watt
• Final UVA curing

UV inks are made out of organic compounds and pigments and are free of heavy metals. Direct printing of the UV inks on glass containers makes the use of paper and plastic substrates obsolete. The ink cost is a fraction of the total label cost.

UV inks are cured by UV lamps which makes the decoration scratch-, water and pasteurization resistance. With the colours C(cyanea) M(magenta) Y(yellow) K(black) and white as a basis you will be able to create your own very big scale of colours.

The total cost of ownership of direct digital decoration is more than competitive to current high-quality decoration such as self-adhesive labels, sleeves or screen-print for any order quantity.

Recycling of the with UV inks printed bottles has no effect on the recycled glass or environment.
