With the development of modern printing technology, there are more and more types of printing ink. For the process of making a print, it is a critical step when selecting the right type of ink.
There are many types of printing inks, the most basic of which can be divided into two categories: Oily and watery. Oily inks are composed of oily medium, pigments and additives. They are often used in high-speed rotary presses for printing magazines and books. Water-based inks use water as solvents, which can be well adapted to high-speed rotary machines and printing quality requirements of printing products. It has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, safety and the like. In addition, there are many special purpose inks, such as high temperature inks, metallic inks, conductive inks and so on.

When selecting printing inks, we need to consider the needs of the printed matter, as well as the ink adhesion, light fastness, stain resistance and color saturation parameters. In the case of high definition and high color saturation, the choice of high quality ink can ensure a better visual effect of the printed matter. And for the long-term retention and the need of waterproof, wear-resistant, easy to wash printing, we should choose a good anti-fouling ink to ensure the quality and service life of the printing.

In the printing ink application, we need to consider its compatibility with other materials. For example: When printing on a curved surface, the viscosity of oil ink is larger, it is difficult to fully contact with materials such as plastics, and water-based inks can be better bonded. Of course, there are some special inks that can be used with specific materials for better printing output. For example, UV inks can be used with UV light for curing, making the printed matter more full, bright and durable.

In a word, there are many kinds of printing inks, how to choose suitable inks, needs to take into account the requirements of the print itself, as well as the characteristics and compatibility of inks and other factors. Correct selection of the appropriate ink, can effectively improve theprinting productionThe quality of the product leads to better results and use.
