On Offset Printing Ink (2)

In addition to the sales in the domestic market to replace the high-grade inks that had to be imported in the past, some of them were exported to the international market. Some high value-added special offset inks have also been successfully developed to meet the requirements of special printing. At present, most of the products in the offset ink product overview map can be produced by major ink manufacturers in the country, meeting the needs of the printing industry.

In addition, the major domestic ink manufacturers pay attention to the quality standardization and internationalization of offset ink products. Some ink products have reached the US PANTONE color standard. Ink enterprises passed the ISO9000 series quality management system and ISO14001 series of environmental management system certification, and laid the foundation for domestic offset printing ink to participate in international market competition.

At present, environmentally friendly offset printing inks are also increasingly drawing attention from print users at home and abroad.

Second, the main gap between domestic offset printing ink and similar foreign products

Although the output of Chinese offset printing inks has been increasing in recent years, the quality level of products has been continuously improved, and the variety of ink colors has been increasing. However, although the gap between the production of ink products of the same type in industrialized countries is still relatively large and there are many deficiencies in quality, it is still not possible. Meet the needs of today's printing, packaging and publishing. The main gaps are as follows:

1. There is still a certain gap between domestic ink quality level and packaging level compared with similar products in the United States, Japan, and Western European countries;

2. There is still a gap in the printing process requirements, high-speed adaptability, consistency of product quality, and ink stability.

3. The development of special special inks is in a slow state and cannot meet the printing requirements for the rapid development of packaging and replacement. Some products are still in shortage or blank. For example: offset printing inks, offset printing inks. No fragrant offset printing sheet-fed ink and fragrant thermosetting offset printing ink still need further development and improvement of quality;

4. Four-color printing inks suitable for high-speed overprint printing still need further improvement in terms of high concentration, high transparency and vividness, and excellent overprintability;
5. Environmentally-friendly offset inks still need further development.

Therefore, the domestic ink manufacturers need to solve the problem is to continue to stabilize and improve the quality of existing products, improve product packaging, improve the quality of raw materials for ink production, existing products to achieve high quality, serialization, to meet market requirements, continue to develop the market Urgently needed new products.

Third, the development trend of offset printing ink Since the 1990s, due to the rapid development and popularization of color desktop plate making systems, the international color printing market has undergone a marked change. Printing products have grown rapidly toward colorization, and printing timeliness and quality requirements have become higher. . Therefore, offset printing, as a printing method that prints high-quality prints economically, efficiently, and flexibly, will remain a major printing method for a long period of time.

Offset printing ink as one of the raw materials for offset printing, the future development of the target should be adapted to the printing of multi-color, high-speed, quick-drying, no pollution, low consumption development needs. We should absorb and learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, face the present, identify gaps and catch up, we must maintain our own advantages, and improve our country's ink production and equipment standards, technical standards and product standardization through the introduction of advanced technologies and equipment, and improve offset printing. The quality of inks has enabled our country's printing inks to achieve high quality and serialization, and has worked hard for the rapid development of China's ink industry.
