Standard water-based ink needs a porous surface to soak into, and plain corrugate provides it. UV ink cures rather than absorbs, so it prints on coated corrugate, chipboard, timber and overwrap, where water-based ink would sit on the surface and smear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to keep running\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMess and leak free.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ink can be changed without stopping the print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandalone.\u003c\/strong\u003e No plant air required, so no compressor and no air plumbing to the line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast startup.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two steps: turn on and purge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 inch touchscreen\u003c\/strong\u003e for code setup and selection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact footprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne ink type per machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing before you specify.
