The selection of gravure printing ink is an important step in ensuring the quality of printed materials

The selection of gravure printing ink is an important step in ensuring the quality of printed products. When choosing gravure printing ink, the following factors need to be considered.

Consider being printed. Different substrates require the selection of different types of inks. For example, for plastic substrates such as BOPP, polyamide or chlorinated polypropylene ink can be chosen for printing. For cellulose substrates such as paper, it is necessary to choose ink that is suitable for the paper.

Consider printing conditions. Including factors such as the type of machine used for printing and the printing speed. These factors will affect the drying performance and adaptability of ink.

Thirdly, the printing effect should be considered. Determine the desired effect based on product usage and customer needs. If special effects are needed, you can choose dark color changing inks, such as black, bright red, and other colors.

Fourthly, processing conditions should be considered. When choosing ink, it is necessary to consider the impact on the printed material during the subsequent processing. For example, in subsequent processing, it may be necessary to perform lamination, hot stamping, and other treatments, which requires selecting ink with good alcohol resistance.

Consider the intended use of the final product. Different product uses have different requirements for ink. For example, food packaging needs to choose ink that meets food safety standards.

Choosing gravure ink requires consideration of factors such as the printed material, printing conditions, printing effect, processing conditions, and usage. Only by making reasonable choices based on these factors can we ensure the quality of printed materials and customer satisfaction.
