How to keep and store water based ink correctly? -Lauer

1. How to keep water based ink? The viscosity of the ink decreases with the increase of temperature, and the viscosity increases with the decrease of temperature. Some inks placed in the environment below 3 ° C or 0 ° C will solidify into a jelly state, the so-called gelling phenomenon, if the ink appears "gelling", usually need to heat up to 5-10 ° C beyond the glue point to restore the original state. Therefore, in cold areas, special attention should be paid to the storage of ink in winter. When storing water based ink in winter, it should be stored in a r

How much does the viscosity of water based ink affect the printing quality?--Laoer

Viscosity is a measure of the ability of fluid molecules to attract each other and hinder the relative motion between molecules. It has the characteristics of stopping the flow of fluid and the degree of stopping the flow. When the fluid flows, depending on the structure and properties of the fluid, it will be difficult to flow when the fluid is in a viscous state. When the fluid is thin, the flow is comfortable. The reason for this phenomenon in the fluid is that there are fluid molecules in the reflux. The resistance of attraction to motion is called internal friction. Thi

What makes the adhesion of Lauer water based ink on plastic film so high?

In the early days, when water based ink was first applied, the biggest problem was insufficient adhesion. After printing, it faded after rubbing several times, and it also polluted the contact property, which made the impression that water based ink could only print absorbents, such as paper products. For example, some non-absorbent substrates, such as PET,PP,PE and plastic film, cannot be used. Although solvent based ink have high printing adhesion, environmental protection problems cannot be solved. Later, it was found that plastic materials can improve the adhesion of water based ink

Why should we choose Water Based Ink for food and drug packaging and printing?

When it comes to the packaging and printing of food and medicine, the first thing that everyone thinks of is "safety". If the packaging bags used to package food and medicine can't guarantee safety, they will pollute the originally safe food and medicine, which is unacceptable to us. When it comes to the safety incident of packaging and printing, the Tetra Pak packaging incident in 2005 will always exist in our memory and will not be erased to remind us that the safety incident is never trivial. The main reason for this incident is that the photoinitiator in UV ink penetrated into the food thr
