The UV ink can be divided into hard ink and soft ink based on the hardness properties of the printed material. On the one hand, the hard ink is rigid, not bending, not deformed. Some materials such as glass, ceramic tile, metal plate, acrylic, wood board, use hard ink. On the other hand, the Soft ink is elastic, flexible.
Following is the difference between hard ink and soft ink:
1.Hard ink usually printing for hard/rigid materials, like glass, plastic, metal, ceramic, wood, etc.
2.Soft ink with flexibility and ductility, usually printing for soft/flexible materials, like leather, canvas, flex banner, soft pvc, etc. The image will be no cracks no matter how you fold or bending,with better extension stretch ability.
