On the characteristics and application of electron

With the continuous networking and digitization of printing technology, digital offset printing has become popular at home and abroad, and a new type of electronic ink suitable for digital offset printing machine has also been used. Electronic ink contains charged liquid ink particles, which makes it possible to electronically control the position of printing particles in digital printing. Electronic ink can reach very small particles (1 μ m ~ 2 μ m). Such small particles enable printing to achieve higher resolution and smoothness, sharpen image edges, and form extremely thin image layers. Electronic ink has now played a role in the following fields

(1) standard basic color CMYK

5. Input the password "761013" (2) the six color setting of wide color gamut adds orange and purple, so that the color reproduction ability is much higher than that of the original four-color basis

(3) indigo spot color system compatible with Pantone

(4) opaque white coating of colorless substrate

(5) fluorescent ink. Indigo's color digital offset printing machine provides a unique combination of functions. All printing machines use electronic ink (that is, Indigo's unique liquid ink)

electronic ink generally has the following advantages:

(1) high brightness, high definition and durability. Manufacturers use the same ingredients as traditional inks, but only recharged inks, to produce electronic inks. Therefore, electronic inks read like traditional inks printed on paper, but when matched with paper, they have high brightness and contrast, and can have a 180 degree viewing angle

(2) low energy consumption. Once the white paint particles are driven to a state that an image has appeared, the image may disappear (because there is no additional energy support), but this did not exist for electronic ink

(3) strong printability. Electronic ink can be applied to almost all materials. It can be used to print textiles, paper, plastics and many other materials. We know that LCD is displayed on glass, but it is heavy and fragile. The electronic ink can be displayed on the plastic surface, which makes it ultra-thin, elastic and not fragile. Electronic ink is a kind of ink. If someone walks into the laboratory and is accidentally splashed by electronic ink, then this person will become a walking display

printing with electronic ink is very easy. For example, it can be used for web printing, and it is estimated that it can also be used for glossy advertising paper and other large format labels in the near future. Nowadays, electronic ink has begun to cooperate with other electronic devices. For example, recently, e-ink company announced that it would cooperate with IBM to jointly develop the world-class SVGA electronic oil, including various accessories of the experimental machine, ink-based displays. It is estimated that the electronic ink-based displays may be put into the market in the next two years. It is said that electronic ink will also cooperate with the emerging changes in the whole publishing industry in the field of printing electronics. Here, e-ink and lucenttechnologies have produced the world's first fully printed display. Their ultimate goal is to print on a piece of paper with ink on one side to ensure the continuity and stability of the physical assets of the product, while printing with electronic ink on the other side
