In-Mold Roller (IMR) injection molding is the most commonly used In-Mold Decoration technology for ink transfer. IMR is easily automated. It not only decorates but can govern surface feel and wear-resistance characteristics which add product value. The trouble with the IMR process is ink washout, that is when the polymer melt flow distorts the printed pattern. Mold design and molding process parameters govern ink wash out. However, there is no academic research on ink wash out.
Here, we used a
We found that ink wash out displacement increases with injection rate, mold temperature and melt temperature. Near the gate, we find the most displacement. We also found that adhesion decreases with the injection rate, but improves with mold and melt temperatures. We quantified this using fall off area measurements. We find that microcellular foaming significantly suppresses wash out.
