Improve Print Quality & Productivity by Controlling Substrate Surface Energy
Poor ink adhesion affects print quality, creates downtime, and leads to lost customers. In many cases, the cause is rooted in complications from the substrate surface. The good news is that surface variables can be eliminated with the proper use of a corona treater. A common misunderstanding is that pretreated films eliminate the need for…
Read MorePurged surface treater safely allows solvent printers to run faster and reduce costs.
Solvent-based printers are recognizing the benefits of surface treating and Enercon has specifically designed a surface treater to meet their solvent printing needs. The system puts quality control in the printers’ hands by ensuring optimal substrate surface energy. Materials with higher surface energy may require a secondary (or “bump”) corona treatment of the substrate to…

Textile manufacturers and end-users have been searching for ways to improve the surface properties of natural and synthetic fibers while minimizing the impact on the environment. The process of promoting pigment and dye uptake on textiles materials can involve priming agents to meet requirements for use, such as fade resistance, permanence under repeated laundering and…
Read MoreImprove Ink Printing Adhesion with Surface Treating
The task of optimizing printing adhesion can be difficult, primarily because of the many process variables which require control. The most critical of these parameters are 1) ink chemistry, 2) substrate quality, 3) surface treatment, and 4) ink transfer method. There are six major printing/decorating processes, each distinguished by the method in which ink and…

Read MoreCorona Treater 101: Not All Corona is Created Equal
How do you evaluate the performance of your corona treater? Most converters measure dyne level. That’s a good start. But dyne level only measures wetting out. The real test is the ability of a corona treater to promote adhesion to your satisfaction. Consider this: it is not unheard of for two different corona treaters to…
