You may have tried different types of ink or adhesive formulations to get the job done, perhaps even used chemical primers or batch-treating processes. Still, the ink refused to bond with the material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you experienced was a phenomenon called low surface energy, a characteristic of some substrates, particularly plastics, that makes them repel printing inks and other coating materials. Contending with low-surface-energy substrates is a frequent concern for screen- and pad-printing businesses that decorate 3-D parts. But it&#8217;s an obstacle that can be overcome most easily with in-line surface-treatment technology. This article will reveal the types of treatment systems available today and explain the role they can play in a printing operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/media.enerconind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/09\/02144942\/Enercon-an-overview-of-surface-treatment-for-3d.pdf\">DOWNLOAD PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve attempted to print, label, or otherwise decorate a three-dimensional (3-D) product, you&#8217;ve probably been frustrated by an ink or adhesive that refused to adhere to the part&#8217;s surface.
