The market for UV-cured ink-based large format printers is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2023

UV-cured ink primarily consists of acrylic monomers with a photo initiator. The main advantage of UV-cured ink is that it dries quickly as soon as it is cured, and after that, it can be applied to a wide range of substrates. It produces a robust image regardless of the type of substrate. Owing to the high density, UV-curable inks are capable of being printed on rigid substrates. This has increased the use of UV-curable inks for printing on POS/POP, wood, metal, glass, and other such substrates.
