Eco Friendly Solvent Free Water Based Printing Ink Fast Drying Strong Adhesion

This high-quality water-based ink uses pure water as the diluent without any solvent added, making it a safe and environmentally friendly printing ink. It delivers uniform color rendering and strong adhesion with fast drying speed, forming smooth and full printed layers free of screen clogging and ink flying. Featuring simple on-press operation and easy cleaning without irritating odors, it fits various flexographic printing applications and is widely used for cartons, non-woven fabrics and paper products.

Core Product Features

1. Pure Water Eco-System:

Water serves as the carrier with zero VOC and no harmful solvents. It has low odor and is non-toxic, complying with green printing standards

for safer workshop production.

2. Strong Adhesion & Anti-Fading:

Outstanding adhesion on various substrates, forming firm abrasion-resistant ink film after drying. Special additives can be added on-site

easily for extra heavy-duty wear resistance if required.

3. Excellent Printing Effect:

Great dispersibility and ultra-fine particle size deliver even, rich color with smooth layers free of burrs, producing crisp text and patterns.

4. Stable & Easy On-Press Operation:

Moderate fluidity prevents plate clogging and ink flying during continuous production. Equipment can be cleaned directly with clean water to 

save time and labor.

5. Efficient Drying for Mass Production:

Compatible with both air-drying and heat-drying processes. Fast drying avoids set-off and smudging to meet demands of continuous bulk

printing.

6. Cost-Effective & Wide Compatibility:

Stable formula with low consumption, compatible with diverse substrates and equipment. Versatile for all civilian packaging printing

scenarios.

How to choose:

1. By Environmental Demands:

Prioritize this water-based ink if your workshop requires odor-free, low-VOC and fully eco-compliant production.

2. By Printing Scenarios:

Ideal for standard flexo printing such as cartons, color boxes, handbags, non-woven fabrics and paper packaging.

3. By Equipment:

Compatible with regular flexographic printing machines for water-based inks.

4. By Substrates:

Suitable for corrugated cartons, cardboard, non-woven fabrics and general paper stocks.

How to use:

1. Basic Usage:

Stir thoroughly after opening the bucket. Add an appropriate amount of pure water to adjust concentration according to process requirements

before direct printing.

2. Concentration Adjustment:

Add a small quantity of pure water if the ink is too thick. Excessive water dilution is forbidden, as it will reduce adhesion and color density.

3. Drying Control:

Use hot air drying to speed up curing and eliminate set-off and smudging during stacking.

4. Equipment Maintenance:

Clean anilox rollers and screens with clean water promptly after shutdown to prevent ink caking and blockage, extending service life of

accessories.

5. Storage Method:

Store sealed ink in cool, shaded places at room temperature, away from freezing and intense heat. Seal tightly after opening to avoid water evaporation and ink deterioration.

Q1: Can water-based ink be used alone?

Yes, it can be used independently with excellent adhesion and great film-forming performance.

Q2: Will delamination or floating pigment occur after mixing the ink?

No. The matching color paste boasts superb dispersibility and excellent compatibility with all water-based emulsions and additives. Fully stirred ink maintains a stable system without delamination, floating color, flocculation or particle agglomeration.

Q3: What printing processes and substrates are compatible with this water-based ink?

It applies to flexographic printing and widely works on corrugated paper, cardboard, non-woven fabrics and other materials.

Q4: Is the color stable with consistent batches free of color difference?

 The ink is ground with high-quality pigments for high color purity, even and transparent rendering with minor batch-to-batch color deviation. It supports CMYK four-color printing and custom Pantone spot colors, delivering stable color for long-term mass production.

Q5: Is this ink eco-friendly and odorless?

The finished ink features low VOC, benzene-free, heavy-metal-free formula with no irritating odor. The green formula fully passes environmental testing standards.

Q6: Is secondary grinding required before use?

No secondary grinding is needed.

Q7: What drying method does this ink adopt? Is it suitable for high-speed production?

 It adopts heat curing drying with moderate drying speed. No plate clogging, dragging or ink peeling happens during printing. Its stable performance fully adapts to high-speed production lines.

Q8: Do additives need to be mixed into water-based ink?

No additives are required under normal working conditions. Only a small amount of pure water can be added to adjust viscosity for special scenarios for easy operation. If one bucket of ink will circulate in the ink tank for a long time, add an appropriate amount of ink stabilizer midway to sustain stable overall performance.

Q9: How stable is the ink during storage? Will it precipitate or go bad?

The mixed ink system remains stable when sealed and stored away from light at room temperature, free of precipitation, coarsening, caking and deterioration. It has a 12-month shelf life and retains good usability after long-term storage.

Q10: Do you offer trial samples and small-batch orders?

Trial samples are available with sufficient stock. We supply 1KG small packages and regular bulk orders, plus customized special color production services.
