DPES Sign Expo CHINA 2023 – Autumn Guangzhou

The 28th DPES Sign Expo CHINA 2023 Exhibition will be held on August 25, 2023, at the Guangzhou Poly World Trade Center Expo. The industry’s advanced technologies will also be displayed here.

Summary:

  1. No printhead brand to exhibit; ( No new printhead)
  2. The largest Chinese printer brands do not attend but their agents are at the exhibition (such as GZ, Docan, Xenons). It is a small exhibition.
  1. Many companies are promoted RTR UV printers with Konica 1024 i/a printing heads, multi-printing heads up to 28, 3.2m/5m width, up to 450 m²/h — More UV ink used on signage banner printing instead of solvent ink.
  1. The solvent ink machine, almost at the exhibition, withdrew from view.
  2. There are two methods to achieve bright backlit signage or transparent film printing for double-sided viewing. One is UV color+white+color printing, another is high density high temperature disperse ink printing.
UV color+white+color printing for backlit
High density high temperature disperse ink printing for backlit
high density high temperature disperse ink printing for backlit
UV color+white+color printing for backlit

UV color+white+color printing is matured enough to apply. But high temperatures disperse ink printing, need better durability ink, better priced ink to accept by market.

Ricoh G6+ / G6 Plus Details

Ricoh Co., Ltd. released three types of inkjet print heads “RICOH MH5422”, “RICOH MH5442” and “RICOH MH5422Type A” in Tokyo on March 16, which is the core component of industrial digital printing systems. These 3 print head products will be available worldwide from now on.

Ricoh G6+ / G6 Plus is more suitable for Roll to Roll than Ricoh G6.

It is mainly used on roll to roll machines at present, and its print coverage is better than Ricoh G6.

Ricoh’s unique high-precision processing technology is utilized in the new printhead to achieve high-quality printing effects while ensuring high output. In addition, the new printhead has a wide range of ink compatibility, and its durability has been improved by strengthening the wear resistance of the nozzle surface.
Besides, the system adaptability in the new print heads is also improved through the pluggable connection line and the high-precision plane calibration effect.

RICOH-MH5422-G6+ / G6Plus
Ricoh G6+ / G6 Plus

As an upgraded product that inherits the latest technology of Ricoh’s sixth-generation print head “RICOH MH 5320/5340” (launched in 2019), it can meet various demands and provide customers with a wider range of print head choices.
In addition, customers using “RICOH MH 5420/5440” (released in 2012) and “RICOH MH 5421/45441” (released in 2017) printheads will be able to upgrade to the new generation of printhead while maintaining the original ink droplet size.

Some machine factories have been developing machines with this printhead since May, but not many. From around April 2023, the Ricoh G6 price has risen wildly. And many factories don’t have Ricoh G6 in stock, the supply is tight.

Tips

Tips for ink trading management.

When you use an ink (any type of ink) to print on a substrate for an application, please make sure it will work well before you put it into large-scale use. To avoid wasting and possibly compensate.

It does not mean that when you get a nice picture on the substrate, then it will work. Besides this, you have to test the following:

1). Is the adhesion good enough between ink and substrate?
2). Is the color bright and wide gamut enough?
3). Is it environmentally friendly enough for your application?
4). Is the light fastness, scratch resistance, and water resistance enough good?
5). Is the ink drying speed fast enough for your process?

If yes, then start large-scale production. If not sure, test to make sure. Or at least inquire SUPERINKS team to get their professional idea about it.

Test the mainstream ink samples in the market.

Why do I have this suggestion?

I have a story. One customer, use normal low-temperature sublimation ink print on the outdoor umbrella, and the color faded within 3 months’ time. But meanwhile, he already spread the umbrella to the whole city. His customer complained about it and request compensate. We don’t wish to see that.

We know that the low-temperature sublimation ink is water-based dye sublimation ink, and the color resistance is grade 3-4, it’s not good for outdoor printing.
