Applying special ink lines to fishing lures allows for uniform reproduction of patterns and improves the appearance quality of the product.

Fishing lures are important components that directly affect the fishing results by reproducing attractive colors and patterns for fish. In particular, the ink applied to the lure surface has a major influence on the added value of the product.
However, conventional coating processes have the following challenges:

• Difficult to reproduce fine patterns
  The surface of the lure is often curved and has a mesh structure, and if the ink cannot be supplied at a fixed rate, the pattern will be interrupted or the coating width will be uneven, resulting in a poor appearance.
• Quality variations due to uneven coating
  If the paint is not evenly applied, variations in color density and bleeding are likely to occur, resulting in differences in the finished quality between batches, which leads to a decline in the reliability and brand value of the fishing tackle.

Positive displacement high-precision microdispenser ecoPEN seriesThe implementation resulted in the following improvements:

• Achieve uniform coating with quantitative control within ±1%
  The positive displacement system allows for stable ink ejection without being affected by viscosity fluctuations or supply pressure. This allows for uniform and beautiful line application without under-coating or over-coating, even on fine patterns or curved surfaces.
• Improved appearance quality and brand value
  The uniform pattern eliminates variations in appearance between lures, improving the fishing tackle’s quality, fish-attracting effectiveness, and market competitiveness.
• Ensuring durability
  The uniform coating ensures stable coating strength. The pattern does not peel off even after long-term use, contributing to an extended product life.

Positive displacement high precision micro dispenser
preeflow® ecoPEN300/330/450/600/700 3D

This high-precision dispenser enables the vivid color expression and uniform pattern reproduction required for fishing lures. It supplies the liquid stably with a fixed amount within ±1%, and can also be used to form fine patterns and apply lines to curved surfaces. It is particularly ideal for applying low- to medium-viscosity liquids such as ink, achieving a finish that combines high-quality appearance with durability.

• The positive displacement system achieves a discharge accuracy of ±1%, preventing missing patterns and missing coating.
• Stable, continuous application without pulsation allows for uniform application on curved surfaces and mesh shapes
• The suck-back function improves ink drainage and prevents bleeding and stringing.
• The discharge flow rate (mL/min, g/min) can be freely set, making it easy to change patterns and color variations.
• We can handle high-mix, small-lot production and flexibly respond to the speed of design development that is essential in the fishing tackle market.
• Uniform application stabilizes the adhesion of the coating, contributing to improved durability and abrasion resistance.
