Abstract

AbstractObjective: To investigate the printability of water-based ink on paper and plastic film. Method: Use previously-prepared inks with the best printability in different kaolin diluents to make samples on different printing paper and plastic film respectively, analyzing their heat resistance, water resistance, adhesion and color reproduction. Results: The printing effect of water-based ink will be significantly worse after heated; when printed on the substrate, the density of the plastic film decreases the most if the substrate encounters water; water-based inks of all colors have the lowest adhesion to the plastic film, also the highest color difference and a poor color reproduction. Conclusion: Water-based inks with different content of kaolin diluent have poor printability on plastic films and needed to be improved from four aspects: heat resistance, water resistance, adhesion and color reproduction.KeywordsWater-based inkPaperPlastic filmPrintability
