The performance of the ink mainly depends on the resin emulsion; for instance, the viscosity, adhesion, gloss, drying, and printing adaptability of the ink are mainly determined by the resin. Water-based inks use water-based acrylic copolymer resins, as these resins have significant advantages over alkyd resins, epoxy resins, and polyurethane resins in terms of gloss, weather resistance, heat...
Water-based inks are primarily composed of a uniform slurry of binders, pigments, and additives. The binder is a core component of water-based inks. It not only disperses the pigment but also plays a key role in influencing ink performance, determining adhesion, water and scrub resistance, and solvent resistance. Three common types of binders for water-based inks exist: water-soluble resins, hydro...
Water-based Clear Primer for Printing: Addressing Insufficient Ink Adhesion on Gold and Silver Cardboard The use of a water-based clear primer on gold and silver cardboard to resolve issues of insufficient ink adhesion is achieved primarily through the following mechanisms: Improving Surface Tension The surface of gold and silver cardboard is typically smooth and possesses low ...
In flexographic printing, the performance of waterborne polymers and resin systems directly affects ink stability, color consistency, adhesion, and production efficiency. Traditional water-based inks may cause anilox roller clogging during long production runs, leading to unstable ink transfer and interrupted printing. In comparison, UV flexographic inks cure instantly under UV light, helping redu...
BOPP, PP, OPP, and PE films are widely used in flexible packaging, labels, and decorative applications due to their transparency, chemical resistance, and stable processing properties. However, printing on these films isn’t always straightforward. A printed surface may look fine initially, but problems can appear during tape tests, rewinding, die-cutting, or transport. Ink may peel, scratch, or lo...
In packaging and label printing, a good printed surface is not only about bright color. It also needs to stay firmly on the substrate during rewinding, cutting, lamination, transportation and daily use. Some common problems are familiar to many ink manufacturers and printers: ink peels off after tape testing, the printed surface is easily scratched, color becomes uneven, or the ink layer loses str...
Resin is the main film-forming component in printing ink. It influences pigment dispersion, adhesion, drying speed, gloss, flexibility and resistance. There is no universal resin for every ink. The right choice depends on the ink system, substrate, printing method and the conditions the printed product will face after printing. Quick Resin Selection Guide Ink typeCommon resin choicesMain advantage...
When UV ink comes off during a tape test, the primer is often blamed first. However, poor adhesion can also result from the film surface, contamination, incomplete primer drying or incorrect UV curing. Here, “adhesion promoter” refers to a primer applied before printing. No single grade is suitable for every plastic film. Choose the Primer by Substrate PET and BOPET films often benefit from a prim...
