ELECTROSTATIC PROBLEMS IN PRINTING & SOLUTION

The printing occurs on the surface of an object, and electrostatic effects are mostly visible on the surface. The two of them have a tight connection. Nearly all of the substances used in printing are electrostatically created as a result of contact, impact, and friction between various substances. The effects of static electricity on the printing and packaging processes, however, have not gotten enough attention. Below are the two parts harmful of static electricity.

1. Affect product print quality

The first is surface electrification of substrates like cellophane, polyethylene, paper, and polyethylene. They will take in paper dust or a huge percentage of dust, contaminants, etc. that is floating in the air, impacting the transfer of ink, resulting in printed products. quality deterioration.

The ink is also charged. Static ink spots may occur on the printed material if the charged ink is discharged during movement. It appears that the ink is uneven and not fluid. In thin-layer printing, this is frequently the situation. In field printing, it is simple for the printed material to appear as "whiskers" near the edge if the charged ink is discharged there.

2. Influencing safe production

Peeling can generate a large amount of static electricity during the printing process because of the high-speed friction. When static electricity builds up, it is simple to start an air discharge that could result in an electric shock or a fire. Once the voltage is large, the charged ink could set the solvent or the worker immediately on fire or shock the operator.

Therefore, some high-end printers are fitted with static eliminators to neutralize the charge on the charged body with the ions it generates to eliminate static electricity. Our company are skilled and professional in the production of electrostatic Eliminator. The material use for Acicular Electrode of eliminator is SUS304 stainless steel with the minimum tip radius up to 0.015mm.
