Mirror ink has the following benefits:
Unique mirror effect: It can present a smooth effect like a mirror or hot stamping surface on the front of transparent materials. It has high gloss and high brightness. It can produce the same effect as the etching process of vapor-deposited sheet materials and achieve a surface effect similar to gold and silver foil. It is used for printing that reflects the same gloss as a mirror and for printing metal colors that show superior mirror effects, adding a sense of luxury and unique visual effects to products.
Good adhesion: It has superior adhesion and can firmly adhere to various substrates such as glass, hardened PC (polycarbonate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET (polyester), PMMA (acrylic or plexiglass), etc., ensuring that the printed patterns are not easily peeled off.
Good stamping resistance: It has good stamping resistance. During stamping and other processing, the printed patterns can remain intact.
Strong substitutability: It can replace hot stamping foils, reducing costs and process complexity.
Rich colors: In addition to the common silver color, there are also colored mirror inks available, such as medium gold, red gold, blue gold, etc., which can meet different design needs.
Wide applicability: It is suitable for various printing methods, including silk screen printing, gravure printing, offset printing, transfer printing, pad printing, spraying, etc. It is widely used in multiple fields such as mobile phones, automotive instrument panels, various decorative instrument panels and panels, operation panels of home appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc.), touch screens, communication digital products, electrical display windows, glass doors/curtain walls, handicrafts, glass cabinets, glass nameplates for home appliances, etc.
Pass environmental tests: It can smoothly pass environmental tests such as salt spray, acid and alkali, high temperature, high humidity, cold and heat cycles, and has good water boiling resistance, able to adapt to different use environments.
Operational flexibility: For example, when printing and drying on glass, natural drying or heating drying can be selected. When the heating temperature and drying time are the same, the mirror performance and color saturation can be guaranteed.
