Which types of inks are suitable for tag coated paper?

Tag coated paper is suitable for many types of inks because of its smooth surface, good ink absorption and clear printing effect. Here are some common ink types suitable for tag coated paper:

First, water-based ink

Features: Environmental protection, non-toxic, tasteless, easy to clean, printing process does not produce volatile organic compounds, in line with environmental standards. Although the printing speed is slower, the printing quality is better and the colors are bright.

Application: Suitable for printing high-grade books, picture albums, promotional materials, etc., also suitable for high quality printing needs of tag coated paper.

Second, UV ink

Features: fast drying, high strength, high gloss and waterproof, with high environmental performance and permeability, little damage to paper.

Application: It is suitable for printing metal plates, multi-color prints and special materials, and is also suitable for tag coated paper, especially for scenarios that require waterproof and frictionresistance.

Third, solvent-based ink

Features: Fast drying speed, bright color, strong adhesion.

Note: Although solvent-based inks perform well in some printing scenarios, due to their volatile organic solvents, they have a certain impact on the environment and operator health, so they need to pay attention to ventilation and protection when used. In today's increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the use of solvent-based inks has been limited.

Fourth, other special ink

Anti-counterfeiting ink: such as fluorescent ink, temperature change ink, etc., used to increase the anti-counterfeiting performance of the tag.

Metallic ink: give the tag metallic luster effect, improve the visual effect and grade.

Scented ink: printed with a specific fragrance to increase the attractiveness of the product.

Sum up

Tag coated paper is suitable for many types of inks due to its excellent printability. When selecting ink, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific printing needs, environmental requirements and cost considerations. Water-based inks and UV inks have become the most commonly used ink types in tag printing due to their environmental performance and excellent printing effect. At the same time, solvent-based inks or other special inks can also be selected as needed to meet specific printing effects and functional needs.
