SJH anti-counterfeit red ink test: vivid color, heat and UV resistant without fading - for tickets, packaging and product security marks.
A full written description of the demonstration, so the content is readable without playing the video.
This video demonstrates SJH anti-counterfeit red ink: vivid colour, heat and UV resistant without fading - for tickets, packaging and product marks that must look consistent long term.
The video shows the printed hue and saturation of the anti-counterfeit red ink. Red is the most common identification colour on tickets and packaging, and hue deviation directly affects brand recognition and document consistency - so hue stability between sheets and batches is a core specification for this class of ink.
The camera shows how the print performs under light exposure. Insufficient pigment lightfastness causes fading in long-display or outdoor use, and tickets and packaging often travel a long circulation route, so lightfastness largely determines how long the print keeps its appearance. Inorganic pigment systems generally outperform organic pigments here, suiting long-exposure applications.
The video further shows the print after high-temperature or post-press steps. Packaging printing often involves lamination, hot stamping and die cutting at elevated temperature and pressure; the ink must retain hue and adhesion afterwards, otherwise post-press becomes a source of whole-batch scrap.
| Hue | Consistent across batches to keep document and brand identity |
|---|---|
| Weathering | Light and heat resistant for long circulation and outdoor exposure |
| Compatibility | Tolerant of post-press lamination, hot stamping and die cutting |
| Typical use | Tickets, packaging, product marks and prints that must hold their appearance |
When choosing a base colour such as anti-counterfeit red, customers most often look only at the initial hue and overlook weathering and batch consistency - which is where the printer real risk actually lies. If the print is long-displayed, used outdoors or passes through several post-press steps, specify the lightfastness and heat requirements at the proofing stage and provide the actual post-press parameters so we can select the pigment system accordingly.
