The invention relates to an environment-friendly water-based gravure ink and a preparation method thereof. The environment-friendly water-based gravure ink is prepared from the following materials inparts by weight: 30 to 40 parts of water-based
polymer, 20 to 30 parts of organic
pigment, 0.05 to 0.15 part of defoaming agent, 0.3 to 0.9 part of hydrophobic agent, 0.1 to 0.6 part of leveling agent, 0.1 to 1 part of water-based anti-
settling agent, 1 to 2 parts of pH stabilizer, 1 to 2 parts of filler and 10 to 40 parts of deionized water. According to the environment-friendly water-based gravure ink and the preparation method thereof provided by the invention, processed by the advanced formula, the environment-friendly water-based gravure ink has the advantages of good printing effect,
high adhesion, non-ignitability, inexplosiveness, non-
toxicity and the like, does not impair the health of pressmen, and does not pollute the atmospheric environment, so the environment-friendly water-based gravure ink is a preferred environment-friendly water-based ink; the environment-friendly water-based gravure ink has good stability and
heat resistance, and cannot be faded under a harsh environment after a long time, and the use of the filler and the leveling agent improves printing leveling, improves
color saturation, and improves the
wear resistance of the ink to a certain degree; moreover, the environment-friendly water-based gravure ink has extremely high
grinding consistency, the usage of conventional ink is changed, and the cost in use is reduced.
