Oil-based inks have unique advantages in many printing scenarios.
It exhibits excellent compatibility with porous substrates, easily handling both coding and marking tasks as well as high-speed printing applications—such as Riso printing and printing on tiles or other substrates requiring rapid ink absorption. Its fast adhesion and drying properties ensure that printed content remains sharp and durable.
Oil-based inks have unique advantages in many printing scenarios.
Regarding Material Composition
It is formulated with long-chain ethylene glycol, hydrocarbons, and vegetable oil as base solvents. Long-chain ethylene glycol imparts excellent fluidity to the ink, hydrocarbons enhance adhesion, and the addition of vegetable oil-based solvents may reduce VOC emissions compared to traditional oil-based inks. However, the specific.
Regarding Drying and Penetration Performance
Oil-based inks deliver outstanding performance in this regard. Leveraging the capillary action of porous substrates, ink droplets are rapidly absorbed, significantly shortening drying time to meet high-speed printing requirements. Meanwhile, optimizing droplet spreading and penetration by adjusting solvent ratios and adding additives such as resins can improve print clarity and edge sharpness.
Regarding Adhesion and Weather Resistance
Compared to other ink types, oil-based inks offer stronger adhesion on non-absorbent substrates and superior weather resistance, but their environmental friendliness is generally inferior to water-based inks. They dry faster than neutral inks but may exhibit slightly lower color vibrancy.
Oil-based inks offer superior adhesion on non-absorbent substrates such as plastics and metals.
Directions for the Improvement of Oil-Based Inks
Amid the trend of increasingly stringent environmental regulations, oil-based inks also require continuous advancement. Exploring low-VOC vegetable oil-based formulations is a viable direction—this not only reduces environmental impact but also maintains their inherent excellent performance as much as possible, balancing the dual demands of performance and environmental friendliness.
