Due to its rough surface and strong ink absorption, corrugated paper is prone to problems such as uneven ink distribution and slow drying when using traditional inks. Water-based inks have become the mainstream choice for corrugated paper printing thanks to their advantages of environmental friendliness, fast drying, and strong adhesion. Mastering printing techniques can significantly improve printing quality and efficiency.
Mastering printing techniques can significantly enhance both printing quality and efficiency.
Water-Based Ink Printing Techniques
1.Equipment Adaptation:
Flexographic printing presses are mostly used for corrugated paper printing, with ink transfer via anilox rollers. Ensure the anilox roller line count matches the ink viscosity to avoid uneven ink transfer or cell clogging caused by excessively thick ink.
2.Parameter Control:
The viscosity of water-based ink should be maintained at 15–25 seconds (at 25℃), and the pH value stably at 8.0–9.0. If viscosity is too high, add an appropriate amount of deionized water for adjustment. If pH is too low, skinning is likely to occur, so amine-based substances should be used for regulation.
3.Operating Specifications:
Stir the ink thoroughly before printing to prevent precipitation. Seal the ink container promptly after printing to avoid skinning. leftover ink must be filtered to remove impurities before reuse to extend ink service life.
4.Environment Management:
The printing workshop temperature should be controlled at 20–25℃ and relative humidity at 50%–60% to accelerate ink drying and reduce “picking” issues.
Corrugated paper printing mostly uses flexographic printing presses with anilox rollers for ink transfer.
OBOOC Cartridge Ink: The Preferred Solution for Efficient Printing
1.High Blackness & Weather Resistance:
Made with imported German raw materials, it delivers deep blackness and strong light absorption. The printed markings are clear, durable, and fade-resistant, fully meeting industrial scanning and identification requirements.
2.Fine Filtration & No Nozzle Blocking:
Treated with 3-stage coarse filtration + 2-stage fine filtration, the ink contains extremely low impurities. It is compatible with high-precision nozzles and reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
3.Excellent Moisture Retention:
No need to clean the nozzles after shutdown for more than one week, reducing equipment wear and improving production continuity.
4.Eco-friendly & Compatible:
Complies with international green packaging standards and is free of irritating odors.
