Frequently Asked Questions

What is UV tinplate ink?

UV tinplate ink is a UV-curable offset ink formulated for metal decorating. It cures instantly under UV light and is engineered for strong adhesion to tinplate and aluminium, with resistance to the forming and processing of metal containers.

What are the benefits of UV tinplate ink over conventional?

UV tinplate ink cures instantly under UV light, offering faster production than conventional heat-cured inks. It also produces a harder, higher-gloss surface. Conventional inks (TWG-TP-OFC) remain suitable for presses without UV curing.

Does TWG-TP-OFUV withstand can forming?

Yes. TWG-TP-OFUV is formulated to resist the forming, drawing, and processing that metal packaging undergoes after printing.
