Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
OBS

UV [ultraviolet] ink contains a pigment, just as conventional inks do, but other ingredients include monomers and oligomers, which react together with a photoinitiator. When the photoinitiator is exposed to ultraviolet light it starts a chemical reaction that links the monomers and oligomers together, drying the ink.
