Date: Jul 23 2024 From: Star Color
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection,
water-based ink, as a new type of environmentally friendly printing material, has been widely used in the printing of daily necessities such as napkins. So many people have safety concerns and raised questions about whether water-based ink printing on napkins poses safety hazards. Let's discuss it below.
As is well known, the biggest advantage of water-based ink is its environmentally friendly and non-toxic properties. It does not contain volatile organic solvents (VOCs) and does not release toxic or harmful substances during the printing process, making it harmless to human health. This feature ensures the safety of napkins printed with water-based ink. Consumers do not need to worry about harmful substances entering the body through skin contact when using it, thus protecting their own health.
When printing napkins with water-based ink, strict quality standards and environmental requirements need to be followed. These standards include water resistance, heat resistance, washing resistance, durability and aging resistance of ink. At the same time, water-based ink also needs to meet relevant national regulations on pollutant emissions in the paper products industry, such as emission standards for CODcr, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus and other pollutants. The implementation of these standards and regulations ensures the reliable quality of water-based ink printed napkins, meeting environmental and safety requirements.
Therefore, as long as qualified water-based ink is used to print napkins, it can be guaranteed to be safe. Take Huizhou Starcolor's flexographic water-based ink as an example. The raw materials and production process are strictly controlled to fully ensure the safety of water-based ink, which is naturally safe for printing napkins.
Nevertheless, there are still some people who have doubts, and in order to address these doubts, other methods need to be taken, such as third-party organizations conducting testing.
Here are some methods that can be used for detection.
Observing the printing effect of water-based ink on napkins is also a method to verify its safety. High quality water-based ink printed napkins should have bright colors, clear patterns, and no odors. If the printed material appears dull in color, blurry in pattern, or has a stimulating odor, it may indicate poor ink quality or printing process problems, which in turn affects the safety of the product.
Consumers can also consult professional institutions or third-party testing agencies to understand the safety of water-based ink printed napkins. These institutions usually have professional testing equipment and technical teams, which can comprehensively and accurately detect and analyze ink samples. By consulting professional organizations, consumers can obtain more authoritative and reliable information to make informed decisions.
Water based ink printed napkins have a high level of safety assurance. Its environmentally friendly and non-toxic characteristics, compliance with standard quality requirements, and support for multiple verification methods allow consumers to use this product with confidence. At the same time, producers should continue to strengthen quality control and environmental management to ensure the continuous improvement of the quality and safety performance of water-based ink printed napkins, in order to meet the needs of the market and consumers.
