Analysis of current situation of water-based ink

In China, due to the limitation of technical level, flexographic printing is mainly based on the printing of paper products such as cartons, paper cups, cartons, labels, etc. In plastic film soft packs, gravure printing is still the main head. The proportion can be said to be insignificant.

Nonetheless, 2018, there are a few phenomena that deserve attention. The first is that my country's printing market has begun to see a certain scale of oil to water attempts, especially in central China. The second is the point of view of the increase of printing presses, the increase of flexographic printing presses greatly exceeds that of gravure printing presses. Mainly increased by breathable film, non-woven flexo printing machine. It shows that my country has made great progress in the printing technology of water-based inks. In the past, the adhesion drying speed of water-based inks on non-absorbent materials like plastic films have been solved.

Against the backdrop of the country's advocacy of "environmental protection, innovation, coordination, green, openness, sharing" other new development concepts, flexographic printing will inevitably have good development opportunities. However, under this opportunity, we also need to see The current dilemma of flexographic ink wash, the reason why flexographic ink wash has never been able to make a major breakthrough in the field of soft packs, it has a lot to do with the research development investment of our ink wash industry. Because ink is based on acrylic resin, it is decided to The drying speed weather resistance of package printing need to be optimized.
