Application schemes for Advertising Decoration Industry
PET Material：
PVC Material :
Considering cost factors, PVC or composite PVC materials are generally preferred for digital inkjet printing. In this case, we usually consider the appearance. High quality PVC film usually has a uniform, smooth surface, consistent color, and no obvious color difference or deformation. PVC films with rough surfaces, defects, or deformations may have poor quality.
PVC film has a wide range of applications in the field of digital inkjet printing. The following are some main application scenarios:
1. Advertising imaging and printing: Digital inkjet printing technology provides the advertising industry with high-quality, vivid, and long-lasting image output, whether it is outdoor billboards, lightboxes, or other forms of advertising materials.
2. Architectural Decoration: Digital inkjet printing is widely used in building materials such as tiles, color peeling, wallpaper, and carpets, enabling personalized design and customization.
3. Craft Decoration Printing: Digital inkjet printing can provide exquisite patterns and details on jewelry, gifts, and other crafts.
4. Cinema and Map Production: Large format inkjet printers are widely used in fields such as cinema background fabric and map production, providing high-precision and high-resolution image output.
5. Inkjet plate making: Using the principle of inkjet printing, files that have been RIP, color separation, and assembled can be directly output onto specialized inkjet films without the need for tedious processes such as development, fixation, and processing, allowing for direct plate making.
