The leather UV color printing process uses UV ink to print on the surface of leather. The UV ink solidifies instantly upon exposure to ultraviolet rays, allowing the patterns to adhere to the leather surface firmly. Vivid colors, high resolution, abrasion resistance, and strong weather resistance characterize this process.
UV Color Printing
- Simultaneous One-time Molding of White and Color
Color printing is the most basic effect in the UV printing on leather process. By mixing inks of different colors, rich colors and patterns can be printed. Color printing is widely used in various leather products, such as clothing, shoes, hats, bags, and household items, adding fashion and individuality to the products.
Imitation Embroidery Process
- Abrasion Resistance, Uneven Texture
The imitation embroidery effect is a partial color printing. Through the stacking and hollowing out of the ink, the pattern presents a texture similar to that of embroidery. This effect is characterized by a strong three-dimensional sense, distinct layers, and a soft hand feel. Imitation embroidery is widely used in leather products, such as high-end leather goods and fashionable clothing, enhancing the quality and added value of the products.
Hot Stamping Process
- Gold Foil Stamping, Laser Silver
The gold foil stamping and silver stamping effects are achieved by hot stamping metal foil onto the pattern after UV color printing on leather, forming a shiny metallic texture. This effect can enhance the texture and grade of the product and is commonly used in fields such as high-end leather goods and gift packaging. It should be noted that during the gold foil stamping process, the temperature and time need to be well controlled to avoid affecting the quality and adhesion of the leather.
Relief Printing Process
- Ink Stacking, Varnish Effect
The relief printing effect is achieved by stacking ink during the printing process and then partially printing varnish, causing the pattern to form an uneven three-dimensional sense on the leather surface. This effect can enhance the layering and three-dimensional sense of the pattern, making the product more distinctive. Relief printing is commonly used in fields such as high-end leather goods and automobile interiors.
The leather UV color printing process and its various printing effects have brought rich creativity and possibilities to the leather products industry. Different printing effects can meet the needs of different products, enhancing the quality and added value of the products. In the future, with the continuous progress and innovation of technology, we believe that the leather UV color printing process will have a broader application space and market prospects.
