Infrared heating lamps have the following applications in printing machines:
Drying function
Quickly dry ink or slurry: During the printing process, five star filament infrared heat lamp bulbs can quickly dry water-based ink, solvent-based ink or slurry. For example, in digital printing, water-based ink dries slowly, which affects production efficiency.fast-response medium wave halogen heat lamps can quickly dry and solidify the ink, thereby keeping up with the pace of high-speed printing and improving production efficiency.
Avoid pattern smudging: Quick drying can prevent the printed pattern from being smudgy or blurred due to being touched or moved when it is not completely dry, ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the printed pattern and improving the printing quality.
Preheating function
Improve printing quality: Preheating the printing material can expand the fiber of the material and increase the surface temperature, so that it can better absorb the ink or slurry, making the printed pattern more vivid, firm, and more saturated. For example, before printing on textile fabrics, preheating them with flash curing infrared heating tubes can allow the fabric fibers to fully stretch, increase the adsorption capacity of pigments, and improve the printing effect.
Remove moisture: Preheating can also remove moisture from the surface of the printing material to prevent moisture from affecting the adhesion and drying of ink or slurry, and reduce the occurrence of printing defects.
