How to print on leather?

How is printed leather made?

Do you know how do brand-name logos and designs end up on leather shoes, belts, purses, ipad cases, phone covers etc ?

Here is our solution-print on leather digitally. If you read our older post on how to create customized leather ipad cases, you will have a general idea on how this is worked out. You are also recommended to visit our youtube page to see the video clip of leather printing at http://youtu.be/TdLbGIYghJg .

In this article, we are about to share more about inkjet leather printing technique.

Printed Genuine Leather

What kind of ink is used for leather printing?

Using the appropriate ink on your chosen leather pieces will not only affect the quality of the print, it will also determine its longevity, brightness and colorfastness. Leather requires certain kinds of ink to get the best printing results.

Through numerous testing, KMAJET found out that acid ink delivers the best color yield on leather. Unlike most inkjet inks that stay on the surface of the material, acid ink will penetrate into the inner layer of the material so as to guarantee the longevity and rub fastness of leather prints.  This explains also why cracking or peeling is not a justifiable concern with KMAJET inkjet leather printing. Even in extremely low temperature environment, the prints are able to remain the same throughout the lifetime of your, say, leather jacket.

This corrosive aspect of the acid ink poses higher demand on the quality of the entire ink supply system, including printer head, ink tubes, dampers, ink bottle etc, all of which need to be anticorrosive. 

Printed PU Leather

Whatever the leather type, from PU leather, PC leather to genuine leather, at KMAJET, there will always be a printing solution that is right for you.

Leather produced with this digital model is surely your right answer.

Turn to KMAJET digital flatbed printer for special printing tasks

It has always been claimed that digital flatbed printers have a wide range of application possibilities. While this is indeed undeniable, sometimes, you do need some extra device in order to make a special printing task possible.

KMAJET has always been dedicating to the development of auxiliary devices to facilitate the printing process and to meet the various printing demands and so far, the efforts have been very rewarding:

KMA02H with integrated heating system

KMA02H with integrated heating system

Pre–heating of the substrate is, sometimes, required in order to deliver high quality prints due to the physical properties of the substrate itself or low temperature operating environment. Leather, metal, glass, aluminum, etc are among these special media types.

For this reason, the heating system integrated into the printing flatbed, is provided by KMAJET as an optional extra, for the situation where pre-heating of the substrate to be printed is required. The thickness of the flatbed with integrated heating system is about 2cm higher than the one without.

KMA02H with integrated heating and air-drawing system

KMA02H with integrated heating and air-drawing system

Except for the above-mentioned situation, there are also circumstances where the substrate is too thin and light to maintain smooth and level on the flatbed, such as PVC film, PE film and other thin materials. To resolve this problem, KMAJET has developed optional air-drawing device, which works on the principle that it draws air current downward through the numerous vents so as to “suck” and maintain firmly the substrate on the flatbed

Often the heating system and this air-drawing system are integrated into a whole unit and function together to fulfill a special printing task.

As different printing demands keep popping up, we as team at KMAJET will always be working together with our customers in providing printing solutions that meet their specific needs.

So, what is your problem? Contact us now to see if we can be of help.
