New trends in printing-the momentum of water-based inks

As the domestic market demand for flat offset printing ink, screen ink, flexo ink, special ink and other products will show an upward trend, and with the strengthening of people's awareness of environmental protection in our country, advanced alcohol-soluble and water-based inks and other environmentally friendly inks will be Rapid growth momentum.

Market Analysis of Water-based Ink

At present, water-based inks are mainly used in flexographic printing and gravure printing, and occupy a considerable proportion in food packaging, tobacco and alcohol packaging, children's toy packaging and other fields. Domestic production and application of water-based ink started late, most of the packaging and printing industry using solvent-based ink, water-based ink accounted for only about 7% of the entire packaging and printing.

With the gradual popularity of green packaging and environmentally friendly packaging, packaging and printing products with strict sanitary conditions such as tobacco, alcohol, food, beverages, medicines, and children's toys will gradually adopt flexographic printing. Especially in the field of packaging and printing, the proportion of flexographic printing will gradually increase, so the potential market for water-based inks in China is huge.

Water-based inks are particularly suitable for packaging and printing products that require strict sanitary conditions. Because it does not contain volatile organic solvents, it can not only reduce the toxicity of the residual on the surface of the printed matter, make the printing equipment easy to clean, but also reduce the danger and hidden danger of fire caused by static electricity and flammable solvents. Therefore, water-based ink is called a new type of "green" printing materials.

The future development trend of water-based ink

1, environmental protection is the inevitable trend of the development of water-based ink

With the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the urgent need for "environmental protection" printing materials is growing. The environmental protection department has always required the ultimate zero emission of VOC. In order to achieve more stringent environmental management objectives, the printing industry is currently focusing on strengthening the treatment of emissions during solvent ink printing. The usual practice is to use "incinerators" to absorb and incinerate VOC. Other more creative ones are the application of microbial or bacterial treatment systems with VOC as food.

2, high quality water-based ink has a certain market demand

With the continuous enhancement of the function of the display effect, the printing gradually develops in the direction of high-grade, high-quality, multi-color and strong visual effect.

To meet the above standards, the plate making, ink put forward higher requirements, high-grade carton printing plate making must be flexible version for the development direction, at the same time must use high-quality water-based ink, to achieve high gloss, bright, fast drying, to adapt to high-speed production.
