The printing manufacturer's control over the cost of gravure printing inks is the best way to create profits. Of course, this must first be based on satisfying customers' requirements for printing products. Reducing costs and gaining profits are prerequisites for the survival of enterprises and development. Therefore, there are two ways to reduce the cost of gravure ink printing. One is to reduce the cost of use, and the other is to reduce the cost of ink purchases. Due to article space, we mainly discuss how to reduce the cost of gravure printing inks. Or you can understand: Choose the three major elements of gravure printing ink.

Reducing costs and maximizing profit are prerequisites for the survival and development of a company. Packaging and printing plants are no exception. Although ink accounts for only 15% of the printing cost (paper accounts for 45%), we understand that the printing factory has never given up its efforts to reduce the cost of ink. Packaging printers hope that ink suppliers can provide the best price/performance ratio to meet the requirements. Ink products.

1) Improve ink colorability Several printing companies interviewed hope that ink manufacturers will improve the coloring of inks. They hope to use quantitative inks to print more jobs or to use a minimum number of inks for quantitative jobs to reduce printing. cost. However, the amount of ink is closely related to the colorability of the ink. In the case of a certain amount of ink, the higher the ink colorability, the more jobs printed and the greater the profit.

2) Reducing the use of auxiliaries or using supporting auxiliaries On the one hand, printing companies hope that the inks used can be used directly during printing, and no need to add or little additives, only the solvent is needed to adjust the viscosity of the ink. Adding auxiliaries will increase the printing cost, increase the preparation time before printing, waste labor, and will also affect the stability of ink properties, and will also cause troubles for post-press processing.

On the other hand, the additives are required to have a certain degree of specificity. The additives must be matched with the ink, the effect is obvious, and the use is convenient. For example, Huangshan Xinli Ink Chemical Plant has formulated the corresponding additives for the characteristics of Huangshan Yongxin Co., Ltd. printing products. Among them, the auxiliary agents B-0020 and B0142 can effectively solve the problem of knife wire contamination in high-speed printing, and add additive No. B0142. It can improve the antistatic property of the ink, and it does not affect the composite strength of the printed ink.

For some printing plants, there is also the problem that used inks need to be stored for a short time. Many inks that have not been used up yet have added auxiliary agents can not be used substantially, resulting in waste. Therefore, the printing plant hopes to use the ink after it is stored for 1-2 months and can be used after simple processing to reduce the waste of ink and save the cost. This requires the ink manufacturer to solve the problem that ink cannot be used continuously after deployment. .

3) Improving the adaptability of inks to high-speed printing Now, the speed of domestic gravure printing machines is generally around 150 meters/minute, and the increase in the speed of printing presses will reduce the printing plant's operating costs and increase efficiency. Therefore, the printing manufacturers hope to be able to adapt to the printing speed of 300 m / min or even higher printing speed of plastic gravure ink can be available soon.
