Application of water-based ink on paper and cardboard

Date: Aug 29 2024  From: Star Color   


Water-based ink, as a type of ink with water as the main solvent, is increasingly used on paper and cardboard due to its unique environmental friendliness, safety and high efficiency.

Application of water-based ink on paper
Paper, as the main carrier of printed materials, is available in a wide variety of types, including white cardboard, kraft paper, coated paper, thermal paper and so on. These papers have their own characteristics, the requirements of the ink are not the same. With its good adaptability, water-based ink can show excellent printing effect on all kinds of paper.

In the printing of books, newspapers, magazines and other publications, water-based ink is favored for its bright colors and fast drying speed. It is capable of printing clear text and images, while reducing organic emissions during the printing process and ensuring a safe working environment for operators.

Of particular note is that in the printing of food-grade paper, water-based ink is indispensable. Since food-grade paper is in direct contact with food, the environmental protection and safety requirements for inks are extremely high. Water-based ink is non-toxic and odorless, no harmful solvent volatilization, fully in line with the requirements of food-grade packaging materials, effectively protect food safety and consumer health.

Application of water-based ink on cardboard
As an important material in the packaging industry, paperboard is in great demand. The application of water-based ink in paperboard printing is also extensive and effective.

In the printing of packaging materials such as corrugated cardboard and carton board, water-based ink can show good printing effect and adhesion.

It not only ensures the clarity and accuracy of information such as text, patterns and barcodes, but also improves the overall aesthetics and market competitiveness of packaging.

The fast drying speed of water-based ink helps to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the growth of consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging products, the demand for water-based inks in the cardboard packaging industry is also increasing.

The wide application of water-based inks in paperboard packaging not only meets the requirements of environmental regulations, but also meets the needs of consumers for healthy and safe packaging products.

Technological innovation and development of water-based ink in paper and paperboard applications

With the progress of science and technology and changes in market demand, the application of water-based ink in paper and cardboard is also constantly innovating and developing.
In terms of printing technology, flexographic printing, gravure printing and other advanced printing technologies provide a broader stage for water-based ink.

These printing technologies can not only improve the printing effect of water-based ink and production efficiency, but also reduce energy consumption and waste generation, and further promote the development of environmentally friendly printing.

The continuous improvement of international environmental regulations also provides strong support for the promotion of water-based ink. These regulations on the environmental performance of the ink put forward higher requirements, prompting companies to continue to develop and produce more environmentally friendly, efficient water-based ink products.

Changes in market demand is also an important factor to promote the development of water-based ink. With the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging products, more and more companies are choosing to use water-based inks for printing production.

This change in market demand will further promote the wide application and continuous development of water-based ink on paper and cardboard.

In summary, the application of water-based ink on paper and paperboard has wide applicability and significant advantages. It not only meets the requirements of environmental regulations and consumer demand for healthy and safe packaging products, but also can play an important role in improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
