What is inks for hard surfaces?

UV ink is the best but you need an UV printer.

UV is good, but price is not good, too expensive.

You did not respond to my question, thank you

What kind of printer you want to run with it ? Eco sol will not work super good with hard surfaces mild or hard solvent will but those will not work with any epson engine.

Hello,

for Epson R230, 1400 or DX5 ?

You need to define the hard surface you want to print on. You will need a veru light ecosolvent ink, and a lot of modyfication to capping station, printhead manifold, lines etc.

Still for durability you will probably need pre coating and post coating.

Should be sublimation ink. For mugs & others.

Thank you for the reply,


ecosolvent ink is even eco-COLVENT what ink for large format?
What is the pre and post coating coating?

I guess UV is good option but what if you go for the tools provide print ready files and get the t-shirts printed whether they have hard surfaces or not ?

UV ok, but my question :

ecosolvent ink is identical eco-SOLVENT what ink for large format?

And

What is the pre-coating and post coating ?

I don't understand the first part of your question, but pre coating an post coating will be a process for treating the surface for printing. Eg applying a coat of chemical that will help bond the ink to the surface and then drying it (sometimes it will need an oven). post coating will be usualy some sort of spray varnish or laminate.
