Hard-Surface UV Ink — 750 ml Pouches & 1 Litre Bottles
EUV-H is Roland's hard-surface UV ink, built for industrial and hard-goods decoration rather than general-purpose work. It lays a harder film than EUV-5 or V-BOND, with stronger abrasion and solvent resistance and — used with primer and proper surface preparation — markedly better adhesion on glass and metal. It is also formulated without Ni, SVHC and CMR substances, and carries a lower odour profile than V-BOND.
EUV-H is formulated for products that get picked up, wiped, cleaned and used. Where a general-purpose UV ink scuffs, the harder film holds its finish through repeated handling — which is what separates a saleable decorated product from a returned one.
Improved chemical and solvent resistance compared with general-purpose UV platforms, so decorated parts survive the cleaning regimes and incidental chemical exposure normal in manufacturing and industrial environments.
Glass and metal are the substrates that defeat most UV inks. With proper surface preparation and primer, EUV-H holds — Roland's own testing rates adhesion on glass sheet, aluminium sheet and PETG as excellent using CMYK plus primer.
Expected to meet applicable toy-safety standards, which matters when the decorated item is a toy, a cosmetics package or anything else where the buyer's compliance team has a view. On those jobs the ink's safety profile is part of winning the work.
A lower-odour profile makes EUV-H easier to live with in a small production room, a school, a retail space or any shop where the machine sits near people all day.
EUV-H can be used for UV-DTF applications. Print settings and layer structure should be confirmed against the specific media, transfer film and required finish before committing a production run.
Rigid and semi-rigid substrates — glass, metal, acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS and coated PET — decorated for products that will be handled and cleaned.
Format follows the machine — pouches and bottles are different packaging, not a resize.
The VersaOBJECT MO-180 and MO-240 and the IO-300 use 750 ml pouches; the RC-300 Series uses 1 litre bottles. If you are pairing it with something else, ask us and we will confirm with Roland first.
Yes, with proper surface preparation and primer — Roland rates adhesion on glass sheet and aluminium as excellent in its own testing. Final adhesion should still be validated against your specific material and how the finished item will be used.
No. EUV-H cannot be mixed with EUV-5 or V-BOND, and there is currently no field conversion process, so the ink set has to be chosen when a machine is specified. This is the single most important thing to get right up front.
Only if durability leads. EUV-5 suits general promotional and sign work across mixed media; V-BOND suits rigid substrates, interior signage and volume Braille. EUV-H is the choice for industrial parts, glass and metal where chemical and abrasion resistance matter more than flexibility or speed.
Yes. Confirm print settings and layer structure against your media, transfer film and required finish before committing to a production run.
On difficult substrates such as glass and metal, strongly recommended — primer is central to achieving EUV-H's adhesion performance. Primer is available as one of the seven channels.
