New Web Page For Plasma & Flame for Ink Jet Printing

Did you know it’s possible ink jet print on all types of plastic surfaces? Ink jet is popular because it is a digital technology that offers many production advantages.

However in some cases surfaces are not receptive to ink adhesion. This is because of low surface energy and surface contamination. To improve surface adhesion companies use in-line atmospheric plasma and flame surface treaters. These technologies clean, etch and functionalize surfaces to increase their wettability and promote ink bonding.

The processes increase surface energy and micro etch surfaces to create more bonding sites for adhesion. Plasma and flame are effective on difficult to pond with surfaces including polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS and Nylon. Applications can be found in packaging, industrial printing, wire and cable marking, automotive, and medical industries.

Enercon’s new web page on increasing print adhesion on plastics  shares stories on how customers are using plasma treating to enable ink jet printing and the page also offers an in depth webinar on tips for integrating plasma and flame into your operation.
