How do UV and water-based flexo inks compare?
We created this guide to highlight the differences between UV inks and WB inks. All inks are not created equal!
| Feature | UV Inks | Water-Based(WB) Inks |
|---|---|---|
| Drying method | UV light | Evaporation |
| Durability | High | Moderate |
| Substrate compatibility | Non-porous & porous | Mostly porous |
| Environmental impact | Lower VOCs | Generally eco-friendly |
| Cost | Higher upfront but less waste | Lower upfront but longer drying |
