Which ink is most suitable for printing BOPP color synthetic paper?

When printing BOPP color synthetic paper, the most suitable ink type needs to comprehensively consider factors such as ink adhesion, drying speed, curing performance, environmental requirements, and compatibility with BOPP materials. Here are some suggested ink types:

1、 Chlorinated polyolefin composite ink

Chlorinated polyolefin ink accounts for a large proportion (about 40%~45%) in BOPP film gravure printing ink. This ink has good adhesion and printing adaptability, which can meet the printing needs of BOPP color synthetic paper. Meanwhile, chlorinated polyolefin ink also has a high cost performance ratio and is the preferred choice for many printing factories.

2、 Water based and alcohol soluble ink

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, water-based and alcohol soluble inks are gradually receiving attention due to their environmental characteristics. This type of ink removes harmful substances such as benzene and is more in line with current environmental requirements. When printing BOPP color synthetic paper, choosing water-based and alcohol soluble inks can ensure that the printing process is environmentally friendly, and the ink is also non-toxic to the human body. In addition, this type of ink has easy viscosity adjustment, good printing adaptability, and can meet high-quality printing needs.

3、 Specialized ink

There are also some specialized inks available in the market to choose from for the special characteristics of BOPP color synthetic paper. These specialized inks usually have good fluidity and adhesion, and can evenly adhere to the surface of paper, forming clear and full printing effects. At the same time, the specialized ink also takes into account the characteristics of BOPP material, such as weather resistance, tensile strength, etc., to ensure the durability and stability of printed materials.

4、 UV plastic ink

UV plastic ink has the advantages of instant curing, space saving, and short cycle time. During low-temperature curing, it is suitable for various substrates, including thin film materials. In addition, the high solidification and solvent-free (or minimal) properties of UV ink can improve the working environment and prevent air pollution. Its friction resistance, solvent resistance, heat resistance, etc. also meet the general requirements of current printing operations. Therefore, UV plastic ink is also a good choice for printing BOPP colored synthetic paper.

In summary, chlorinated polyolefin composite ink, water-based/alcohol soluble ink, specialized ink, and UV plastic ink are all suitable choices for printing BOPP color synthetic paper. The specific choice of ink needs to be comprehensively considered based on factors such as printing requirements, environmental requirements, and cost budget. Meanwhile, it is recommended to consult professional printing technicians or ink suppliers when selecting ink to ensure printing quality and effectiveness.
