Is UV ink poisonous?
UV printing is a unique method of digital printing utilising ultraviolet (UV) light to dry or cure ink, adhesives or coatings almost as soon as it’s hit the paper, or aluminium, foam board or acrylic – in fact, as long as it fits in the printer, the technique can be used to print on almost anything. UV ink is not poisonous. Although UV ink curing is not poisonous, but not completely harmless. Because UV ink still has certain irritation and corrosive to the skin. But if you choose a green UV ink, you can avoid this situation.
1.In UV printing, mercury/quartz or LED lights are used for curing instead of heat.
2.the specially designed high-intensity UV light closely follows as the special ink is distributed on the printing medium, drying it as soon as it is applied. Because the ink transforms from a solid or paste to a liquid almost immediately, there is no chance for it to evaporate and so no VOCs, toxic fumes or ozone are released, making the technology environmentally friendly with almost a zero carbon footprint.
