Distribution of water-based ink printing

the perspective of printing methods, water-based inks are currently suitable for offset printing, its main application areas are flexographic printing gravure printing.

1. Application in the field of flexo printing: We know that most of flexo gravure products are packaging products, among which food packaging, tobacco alcohol packaging, children's toys other strict sanitary packaging requirements account for a considerable proportion. Therefore, New printing materials are urgently needed, suitable inks are undoubtedly one of the best choices. Under the impact of the "green revolution" wave set off in the world, flexo printing has developed rapidly. The main reason is that the vast majority of flexo printing uses water-based ink, which has excellent environmental performance is in line with the development trend of modern packaging printing. In the United States, 95% of flexo products use water-based inks, in Japan, 70% of flexo plates are used for corrugated board printing, 95% of them have used water-based inks. In my country, the proportion of flexo printing is increasing day by day.

2. Application in the field of gravure printing: water-based gravure printing inks have been widely used in the printing of packaging paper thick cardboard cartons since the 1970s. Due to the better evaporation drying absorption drying in paper printing, the drying of water-based inks The problem is relatively easy to solve, it has been popularized earlier. In the United States, 80% of gravure prints use water-based inks.

3. Applications in the field of screen printing: Sweden, Germany the United States have used a large number of water-based screen printing inks. Since the 1980s, textile, paper, PVC, PS, aluminum foil metal have been printed on the Internet with glossy matte water-based inks. The development of screen printing in China is fast, but the progress of research development popularization of screen printing water-based inks is slow. According to reports, my country has applied screen-printing water-based inks gravure flexo water-based inks to printing materials such as paper plastics.
