What is Flexo Printing Ink?
Apr 25 , 2021
Flexo (Flexography) Inks are inks transferred by the process of flexography, primarily used in the printing of packing materials, for example, cardboard boxes, brown corrugated cardboard, paper bags and plastic bags, newspapers, etc. There are several types of ink which are mainly water-based, solvent-based, and UV curable. The flexo inks, like Gravure inks, have low-viscosity, characterised as fl...

How to solve ink residual odor problem?
Jul 12 , 2021
We all know that surface printing ink must emphasize their luster as the film can not be supplemented by light. However, polyamide resin has a problem with residual solvent. Because the plastic gravure printing process is mainly by hot air to dry, hot air to dry the ink surface, the drying mechanism is from the outside dry, from the outside in, gradually dry out. But since the outside dries first,...

Application of Polyurethane Resin in Plastic Printing Ink
Mar 29 , 2023
The liquid part of the ink composition is called the adhesive; Solids are pigments (pigments or dyes); And various additives. Adhesives are gel-like fluids with a certain viscosity. Its function was first as a carrier for pigments. Powdered pigment and other solid particles are mixed and connected, and the pigment is evenly dispersed in it by its wetting action, which makes fine grinding on the gr...
