Flexible materials are mainly used for clothing printing. However, in recent years, flex banner manufacturers have diversified the usage of flex and used it when making signs. Unlike vinyl printing, flexibility is softer and softer. These slogans are made using special printers. These printers look like ordinary inkjet machines but have the ability to print flexible materials. After printing, your sign maker will use heat to attach the flexible material to the final product. There are special tools that can be used to bond flexibility to the surface.
When printing on flex, three types of ink are used. These include;
Solvent inks-these have strong odors and are not biodegradable. They are carcinogenic, so long-term use is not recommended. They also produce low-quality final prints.
Environmentally friendly solvent-based inks-different from solvent-based inks, this type is less harmful, with minimal odor, and almost odorless. They are harmless to use under normal working conditions, and the quality is better than the former.
UV ink-this ink is the latest and has the first two advantages because it is environmentally friendly. The UV ink is cured, and therefore can be used in various applications without any heating. It produces the most dynamic quality in the final product.
Flexible banner printing uses only cardboard whose material can be perfectly bonded to flexible materials. These types of slogans are the most preferred due to their durability.
