Water based ink, as an environmentally friendly printing material, is gradually being widely used in various fields, including the printing of plastic woven bags. Plastic woven bags, as a common packaging material, are widely used in various industries such as agriculture, chemical industry, and building materials. The printing quality of these bags directly affects the appearance and brand image of the products. Therefore, exploring the application of water-based ink in plastic woven bag printing is not only in line with environmental trends, but also an effective way to enhance product competitiveness.
Basic characteristics of water-based ink
Water based ink is an ink system that uses water as the main solvent or dispersion medium. Compared with traditional solvent based inks, it has significant environmental advantages. Firstly, it does not contain or only contains a small amount of organic solvents, so there are almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions during use, greatly reducing environmental pollution. Secondly, water-based ink has good printing performance and drying speed, which can meet the needs of various printing processes. In addition, it also has good adhesion and weather resistance, ensuring the stability and durability of printed materials under various environmental conditions.
Application of water-based ink in plastic woven bag printing
The material characteristics of plastic woven bags determine the particularity of their printing process. Traditionally, solvent based ink is often used for printing plastic woven bags, but this method has problems such as high environmental pollution and high cost. The emergence of water-based ink provides a new option for printing plastic woven bags.
Environmental advantages: Printing plastic woven bags with water-based ink can significantly reduce VOC emissions and minimize environmental impact, meeting current global environmental requirements. This is of great significance for enhancing the corporate image and strengthening market competitiveness.
Improving printing quality: Water based ink has good fluidity and wetting properties, which can better penetrate into the fiber structure of plastic woven bags and improve the adhesion of ink. At the same time, water-based ink has bright colors and high saturation, which can present more delicate printing effects and enhance the visual quality of products.
Reduce costs: Although the initial investment may be slightly higher than that of solvent based ink systems, water-based ink does not require special protective equipment or exhaust gas treatment systems during use, which can save a lot of operating costs in the long run.
Strong adaptability: Water based ink has good adaptability and can adapt to different types of plastic woven bag materials and printing process requirements. Whether it is flexographic printing, gravure printing or other printing methods, water-based ink can provide stable and reliable printing effects.
The application of water-based ink in plastic woven bag printing has significant environmental advantages, good printing quality, and economic benefits. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous development of green printing technology, it is believed that water-based ink will be more widely applied and promoted in the field of plastic woven bag printing. StarColor produces water-based ink that can be printed well on plastic woven bags, and now free samples can be obtained. Welcome to consult
