The invention relates to the technical field of ink, and discloses a preparation method of environment-friendly water-soluble engraved gravure ink, which comprises the following steps: placing porous short fibers in water, adding a surfactant, heating to 40-60 DEG C, and stirring to obtain a suspension; adding pigments into the turbid liquid in batches, fully stirring, standing, filtering, and
drying the filtered material to obtain porous short fibers filled with the pigments; the preparation method comprises the following steps: selecting
polyethylene glycol with a
melting point of 35-60 DEG C, heating to melt, adding porous short fibers, slowly stirring, filtering, dispersing the porous short fibers, cooling at normal temperature, and slowly stirring and mixing with an
anhydrous ink binder to prepare ink
slurry; uniformly mixing water and an auxiliary agent to prepare a water-based
diluent; before spraying, the ink
slurry and the water-based
diluent are mixed and are sprayed after being fully ground. According to the invention, the nano
pigment is blocked in the porous short
fiber, the
pigment in the ink paste cannot diffuse out from surface micropores of the porous short
fiber, and the porous short
fiber is stably dispersed, so that the problem of
pigment agglomeration and
precipitation is avoided.
