Comparison of the life of each nozzle of uv flatbed printer

Comparison of the life of each nozzle of uv flatbed printer
Knowing the factors that affect the life of the nozzle, it is not difficult to see which of the nozzles listed above has a longer life. We have summarized our experience over the years and presented it to friends in the form of real data. The life of Seiko 1020 nozzle is 3 years, the life of Seiko 1020 nozzle is 2.5 years, the life of Seiko high drop nozzle is 2.5 years, the life of Ricoh G5 nozzle is 2 years, the life of Ricoh G4 nozzle is 2 years, the life of Toshiba CE4 nozzle is 1 year, the life of Ricoh GH2220 nozzle is 8 months, and the life of Epson fifth generation nozzle is 7 months.
Factors affecting the life of uv flatbed printer nozzles
1. The material of the nozzle. UV flatbed printers often use UV ink. As a chemical substance, UV ink will definitely have a certain degree of corrosiveness. Therefore, corrosion-resistant steel nozzles are more durable than plastic nozzles. Common nozzle steel materials on the market include Seiko 1020 nozzles, Seiko 1024 nozzles, Seiko high-drop nozzles, Ricoh G5 nozzles, and Ricoh G4 nozzles. Plastic materials include Epson fifth-generation nozzles, Ricoh GH2220 nozzles, and Toshiba CE4 nozzles.
2. The ink drop size of the nozzle. The ink holes of the UV flatbed printer nozzles are very fine. The UV ink must pass through the ink holes and then be sprayed onto the material. The UV ink is a viscous liquid. The fine nozzle nozzle holes must be kept clean and unobstructed to ensure that the ink can flow smoothly. It can be seen that the smaller the nozzle nozzle holes, the greater the probability of nozzle failure. We usually use the ink droplet size to describe the nozzle orifice size of the nozzle, that is, the printing accuracy. The unit of ink droplet size is PL. The ink droplet size of Ricoh GH2220 nozzle is 3-5PL, Epson fifth-generation nozzle is 3.5PL, Toshiba CE4 nozzle is 5-42PL, Ricoh G5 nozzle is 7-35PL, Ricoh G4 nozzle is 7-35PL, Seiko 1024 nozzle is 7-35PL, Seiko 1020 nozzle is 12PL, Seiko high drop nozzle is 12-36PL.
3. Is the ink droplet of the nozzle variable? It is common sense that things that change frequently will often affect stability, and the same is true for UV flatbed printer nozzles. The nozzles with unchanged ink droplets are Epson fifth-generation nozzles and Seiko 1020 nozzles, and other nozzles are variable ink droplets.
4. Daily maintenance of nozzles. If anything is properly maintained, will it last longer? If the UV flatbed printer nozzle is well maintained, the service life will be unexpectedly surprising.
