Flexographic Inks Market Dynamics

Water Based Flexographic Ink is composed mostly of water and pigment with assorted additives like defoamers and agents to aid in drying and adhesion. Water has a high surface tension, which can print beautiful perfect dots however creates mottled/pinholed solids, which means that in order to ‘wet out’ on most plastic surfaces, the surface tension has to be reduced considerably in order to achieve good print quality and smooth laydown of ink. Usually they have the maximum surface tension of all ink types and are good for any elastomer type. Over time, water-based inks have a much advanced herbal resin content and will become the new standard for the formulation of water bases. Thus, the increase of environmental concerns and the increase of awareness in sustainability has drawn more attention to the usage of water-based ink usage in the flexographic printing and packaging industry.
