Introduction to EUV-H UV Hard Ink

Roland DG has launched EUV-H, an industrial-grade UV hard ink designed for commercial and industrial printing applications that require high durability and chemical resistance. This ink is suitable for customized and short-run production where printed parts may be exposed to handling, weathering, or demanding operating conditions.

Durability and Material Compatibility

EUV-H is formulated to improve scratch, chemical, and weather resistance in printed output, making it ideal for applications where durability is crucial during production, transport, and end-use. The ink can be used on rigid substrates, including plastic, glass, and metal, supporting decoration and marking applications across product parts, electronics, packaging, and promotional items.

Ink Set and Material Compatibility

The EUV-H ink set is available in CMYK, White, Gloss, and Primer, with the primer designed to improve adhesion on difficult surfaces and expand the range of materials that can be printed reliably. This ink set supports more consistent output across a wider range of substrates, reducing material limitations in applications requiring direct-to-object or flatbed UV printing.

Production Flexibility and Environmental Considerations

EUV-H is intended for users producing durable customized output in short runs or variable batches, with compatibility across multiple VersaObject platforms. This allows businesses to add more durable printed products without changing their printing workflow. Additionally, EUV-H reduces the typical odor associated with UV printing and does not contain nickel, SVHC, or CMR substances, supporting environmental and workplace safety requirements.
