An Overview of the Three Ink Characteristics is Provided by a 6-Star Map
Superinks Soft UV Ink
Advantages:
Best folding endurance, good adhesion, good freezing toughness.
Disadvantages:
Ink layer is too soft, and it is easy to leave scratch marks on the hard material.
Applicable media:
Light cloth, soft film, wall cloth, wallpaper, car stickers, PVC film, PET lamp, canvas, 3P cloth, and other soft materials.

Superinks Neutral UV ink
Advantages:
Adhesion is good on various materials such as sheet and soft, no need to use coating, and has certain scratch resistance.
Disadvantages:
The hardness is slightly lacking, and it is not suitable for materials with high hardness such as glass.
Applicable media:
Acrylic, PS board, PVC foam board, KT board, etc.
