Why is ink storage temperature important?
As a precision printing consumable, the storage environment of ink directly affects color performance, flowability, and printing stability. Inappropriate temperatures can degrade ink performance, impacting the final print quality. 1. High temperatures easily affect ink stability. Excessively high temperatures can accelerate changes in ink composition, affecting the dispersion of dyes or pigments, leading to color deviations, sedimentation, or uneven printing. 2. Low temperatures may affect flowability. At lower temperatures, the viscosity of some inks increases, reducing flow rate, potentially causing unstable ink supply to the printhead, resulting in broken lines or lighter print colors. 3. Temperature variations affect long-term storage. Frequent temperature changes can cause subtle variations within the ink, […]
