8. FAQ
Q1: What is MOQ? A: MOQ is 1 kg, support sample trial order. Bulk quantity will get better unit price.
Q2: What is lead‑time? A: In‑stock colors(CMYK): within 3 working‑days after payment confirmed. Custom special Pantone colors: extra 7‑10 working‑days lead‑time. Monthly supply capacity:40 tons.
Q3: Customization service available? A: Yes. Support custom Pantone spot‑color matching, slight viscosity adjustment according to customer press condition. Custom order requires higher MOQ.
Q4: Available shipping options? A: Small parcel: DHL / UPS / TNT / FEDEX. Bulk large‑volume goods: sea freight. Reminder: UV ink belongs to chemical goods, MSDS document is required for customs declaration.
Q5: Poor adhesion on PVC / PET substrate? A: Check substrate surface energy; corona treatment is recommended for plastic sheets. Check UV lamp power & curing energy; replace aging UV lamp tube.
Q6: Can it work under UV‑LED lamp? A: This model is formulated for traditional mercury UV lamp. Not optimized for LED light source. Contact sales if you need LED‑cured version.
Q7: What certificates can you provide? A: MSDS, RoHS, EN71‑3‑19, total lead test report. All documents can be offered for import clearance.
Q8: Ink polymerized / skinning inside can? A: Mostly caused by sunlight / UV ray exposure during storage. Keep can tightly sealed, store in dark cool place.
