Friends who are engaged in the advertising processing industry may have been entangled in choosing a 4-color flatbed uv printe, a 6-color flatbed uv printer, or an 8-color uv printing on acrylic when purchasing a uv machine. So what is the difference between them?
The most intuitive difference between them is the ink color. The inks used in 4-color printing are red, yellow, blue and black. On the basis of 6-color printing, light red and light blue are added, and in 8-color printing, light black and light light black are added.

How does the difference in ink color affect the printing effect?

In fact, 4-color printing can meet most advertising printing needs, such as Tiancai single-head photo printer, 4180 double-head photo printer, and Phantom H1 four-head photo printer, all of which belong to four-color printing. 4-color printing of common adhesive, photo paper, car stickers, light sheets and other materials can be easily done, and the accuracy and color effect are also very good. Therefore, for regular advertisement printing, there is no problem in choosing a high-quality 4-color printer.

6-color and 8-color uv printers have more colors, so their color expression will be stronger, and they can be sensitive to very subtle color differences. Take red as an example, there are many kinds of red, and some reds are very close to each other, and can only be distinguished by professional equipment. For example, can you see the difference between the two reds in the picture below?

Faced with this situation, 8-color printing is definitely better than 6-color printing in terms of fine color difference processing, and 6-color printing is better than 4-color printing. Therefore, in those fields that require very high color, it is more suitable to choose a photo machine with 6-color printing and 8-color printing. Such as antique calligraphy and painting, oil painting, high-end exhibition, high-end decoration, wedding photo studio, etc. If you are engaged in these fields, you can choose Phantom H1806 six-color photo printer and Tiancai 4180-eight-color photo printer, which have great advantages in color performance.

There are differences in the printing speed of these types of printers, because the more types of output colors, the more complex the data to be processed, and the workload corresponding to the nozzle will increase. Therefore, under the same configuration, the speed of four-color printing is often is the fastest.

Knowing this, do you know how to choose when faced with a wide variety of photo machines?
