Which printing inks are better compatible with BOPP synthetic label paper?

Printing inks with good compatibility with BOPP synthetic label paper mainly include the following:

1. Water-based ink

Features:

Environmental protection: Water-based ink with water as a solvent, does not contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in line with environmental requirements, harmless to the human body and the environment.

Good adhesion: After proper corona treatment, the water-based ink can form a strong adhesion layer on the BOPP synthetic label paper, ensuring the durability of the printed pattern.

Drying method: Water-based ink is mainly dried by evaporation of water, which requires a certain drying time and equipment support.

Application example: BOPP flexographic ink produced by Huizhou Zhongzhixing Color Technology Co., LTD is a flexographic water-based ink specially for BOPP film printing, with strong adhesion, high gloss, no fading, scratch resistance and other characteristics, and VOCs content is less than 1%, in line with environmental protection standards.

2. UV ink

Features:

Fast curing: UV ink can be cured quickly by ultraviolet irradiation, improving production efficiency and reducing waiting time.

Excellent printing results: UV ink bright color, high gloss, to meet the needs of high-quality printing.

Environmental protection: Although UV inks do not use solvents during the curing process, there may be some environmental considerations in terms of the ink itself and the curing equipment.

Applications: UV inks are suitable for a variety of printing methods and substrate materials, including BOPP synthetic label paper, especially where fast drying and high print quality are required.

3. Solvent-based ink

Features:

Strong adaptability: solvent-based inks have strong adaptability to substrate materials and can achieve good printing results on a variety of materials.

High printing quality: The patterns printed by solvent-based inks are colorful and rich in layers.

Note:

Environmental protection: solvent-based inks contain volatile organic solvents, which cause certain pollution to the environment and have a certain impact on human health. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and protective measures when using.

Limited application: With the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the application of solvent-based inks in some areas is limited. However, under certain conditions, such as high print quality requirements and relatively relaxed environmental requirements, solvent-based inks may still be a viable option.

4. Alcohol-soluble ink

Features:

Environmental protection: alcohol-soluble inks use alcohol as a solvent, compared with traditional solvent-based inks, its environmental protection has been improved.

Good printing performance: alcohol-soluble inks can show good printing performance on BOPP synthetic label paper, including adhesion, drying speed and printing quality.

Application: In some cases where there are certain requirements for environmental protection but can not completely abandon the characteristics of solvent-based inks, alcohol-soluble inks may be a compromise choice.

Sum up

In summary, printing inks with better compatibility with BOPP synthetic label paper mainly include water-based inks, UV inks and alcohol-soluble inks. In the selection need to be based on the specific application needs, environmental requirements and cost considerations and other factors for comprehensive consideration. With the increasingly strict environmental regulations and the continuous progress of technology, the application prospects of environmentally friendly inks such as water-based ink and UV ink will be broader.
