High-quality aqueous ink market is promising

People concerned believe that with the continuous development of the society and the improvement of standard consumption levels, the printing of corrugated boxes must gradually develop in the direction of high quality, high quality, multi-color, and strong visual effects. In the direction of multi-color printing of colored noodles, it is also based on commodity packaging instead of transport packaging. The use of whiteboard cattle card to replace the box board cattle card, to achieve bright colors, good gloss, beautiful and so on. To achieve the above standards, high demands are made on plate making and printing inks. In high-grade carton printing plates, flexible plates must be used instead of rubber plates, and high-quality aqueous inks must also be used to achieve luster, bright, fast drying and high-speed production.
Water-based inks have been used in the printing of corrugated paper for a long period of time abroad and have been in the country for more than 20 years. Corrugated paper printing is printed by letterpress (embossing), offset printing (flat printing), rubberized water washable printing, and development of flexible flexographic waterborne inks. Flexopress water-based inks also evolved from rosin-maleic acid modified resin series (low grade) to acrylic resin series (high grade). Printing plates also transition from rubber plates to resin plates. Printing presses have also evolved from single- or dual-color machines with large rollers to three- or four-color FLEXO machines. The mesh wheel is also gradually developed from a 150-200 mesh metal roller to a 180-250 mesh ceramic roller. With the ever-changing printing technology, the quality of water-based ink is very important.
Water-based inks are roughly divided into two categories: one is a rosin-maleic acid modified resin series (low-grade) and the other is an acrylic resin (high-grade). Zhaoqing Tianlong and Shanghai Shiao are all well-known manufacturers of ink and wash. In the long run, the market outlook for high-quality water-based inks will become better and better.
