The advantages of water-based ink printing napkins
Date: Aug 01 2024 From: Star Color
Printed patterns on napkins are not only for their appearance, but also for advertising purposes. A beautiful pattern on napkins can leave a deep impression on customers and help them remember the merchant. There are also napkins used for specific occasions such as weddings, banquets, and company annual meetings, which need to highlight their uniqueness. This not only adds a sense of ceremony, but also enhances taste.
When choosing ink for printing napkins,
water-based ink is generally the main choice, mainly because water-based ink has the following characteristics:
Low odor, strong chemical resistance and abrasion resistance:
When printing napkins with water-based ink, due to the low odor of water-based ink itself and its good chemical resistance and wear resistance, the printed napkins are safer to use and are less prone to odor or color fading caused by contact with food or beverages.
Reduce ink bleeding on paper:
Compared to traditional ink, water-based ink contains resin and wax that harden after drying. These components can effectively reduce the penetration and diffusion of ink on paper, thereby reducing the phenomenon of ink bleeding on paper. This is particularly important for napkins, as they are prone to getting wet with drinks or food during use. If ink easily seeps through the paper, it can dirty the tabletop or clothing, affecting the user experience.
Improving the quality of printed materials:
When printing napkins with water-based ink, due to the good fluidity and fast drying speed of the ink, it can ensure the clarity and color saturation of the printed pattern, and improve the quality of the printed product.
Non volatile organic solvent (VOC) emissions:
Water based ink uses water as a solvent and contains almost no volatile organic solvents, so it does not produce harmful VOC emissions during the printing process, and is environmentally friendly.
Reduce health risks:
Due to the absence of harmful solvents in water-based inks, the printing process does not pose a health hazard to operators, and the residual toxic substances on the surface of printed materials are greatly reduced, ensuring the health and safety of consumers.
Low resource consumption:
Compared with solvent based inks, water-based inks do not require a large amount of organic solvent cleaning solution during the printing process, and the cleaning medium is mainly water, thereby reducing resource consumption and wastewater discharge.
Recyclable and reusable:
Abandoned water-based ink can be recycled and reused, reducing environmental pollution caused by waste and achieving resource recycling.
In line with the trend of green packaging:
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection among people, green packaging has become an industry trend. As an environmentally friendly packaging material, water-based ink printed napkins meet the requirements of green packaging and are conducive to enhancing the environmental image and brand value of enterprises.
In summary, water-based ink printed napkins have the advantages of low odor, strong chemical resistance and abrasion resistance, reduced ink bleeding on paper, and improved print quality. At the same time, they also have environmental characteristics such as no VOC emissions, reduced health risks, low resource consumption, and recyclability. These advantages and characteristics make water-based ink printed napkins highly competitive and have great potential for development in the market.
