Frequently Asked Questions

What is UV offset film ink?

UV offset film ink is a UV-curable offset ink formulated to adhere to and print on plastic film and non-absorbent substrates. UV curing enables offset printing on films that conventional oxidative-drying inks cannot bond to.

Why can’t conventional offset ink print on film?

Conventional offset ink dries by absorption into porous substrates. Non-absorbent films provide no absorption, so conventional inks cannot dry or adhere. UV offset inks cure by UV light instead, enabling printing on films.

What films is TWG-UVF suitable for?

TWG-UVF is formulated for plastic films, synthetic papers, and non-absorbent substrates. Contact TriWill Group with your specific substrate for suitability confirmation.

Is TWG-UVF available in a low migration version?

Yes. For food packaging film applications requiring migration compliance, TriWill Group offers TWG-UVF-LMI, a low migration version of the UV offset film ink.
