Date: Dec 20 2023 From: Star Color
Intaglio printing is a common printing process, widely used in packaging, labels, metals and other fields.With the improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous development of printing technology, water-based ink, as an environmentally friendly and low-cost printing material, is more and more widely used in gravure printing.This paper will introduce the application and advantages of water-based ink in gravure printing in detail, in order to provide reference for the development of gravure printing industry.
Application of water-based ink in gravure printing
1.Introduction to intaglio printing process
Intaglio printing is a printing process by carving a pattern or text on a gravure surface and then using a gravure press to transfer ink from the gravure surface to the substrate.Gravure printing has the characteristics of high printing quality, bright color, wear resistance, etc., and is widely used in packaging, labels, metals and other fields.
2.Application of water-based ink in gravure printing
As an environmentally friendly and low-cost printing material, water-based ink has been widely used in gravure printing.Water-based ink has excellent printing performance and can meet the quality requirements of various gravure prints.At the same time, the environmental performance of water-based ink also meets the environmental requirements of modern society.Therefore, the application of water-based ink in gravure printing has been paid more and more attention.
Advantages of water-based ink in gravure printing
1.Environmental advantage
As an environmentally friendly, low-cost printing material, water-based ink has the advantages of non-toxic, tasteless, pollution-free，etc.Compared with traditional ink, the use of water-based ink can reduce environmental pollution and harm to the human body.At the same time, the waste liquid of water-based ink can be recycled after treatment, reducing production costs and resource consumption.
2.Printability advantage
Water-based ink has excellent printing performance and can meet the quality requirements of various gravure prints.The advantages of water-based ink such as good fluidity, fast drying speed and strong adhesion make it able to adapt to the production requirements of various gravure printing presses.At the same time, the characteristics of water-based ink such as bright color and wear resistance also make it able to meet the printing requirements of various packaging, labels and other products.
3.cost advantage
As a low-cost printing material, water-based ink has lower procurement costs and production costs than traditional ink.At the same time, the use of water-based ink can reduce environmental pollution and harm to the human body, reducing the cost of environmental protection and social responsibility of enterprises.Therefore, the use of water-based ink can reduce the production costs and operating costs of enterprises, improve the economic benefits of enterprises and market competitiveness.
This paper introduces in detail the application of water-based ink in gravure printing and its advantages, including environmental protection advantages, printing performance advantages and cost advantages.With the improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous development of printing technology, the application of water-based ink in gravure printing will be more and more extensive.In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology and the diversified development of market demand, the production process of water-based ink will continue to improve, the performance will continue to improve, and the application field will be further expanded.At the same time, the government and society should also strengthen environmental protection supervision and publicity, and promote the development and application of green printing technology.
