The invention provides an anti-
settling water-based quick-
drying production process of a pearlescent
printing ink. The production process comprises the following steps: 1) one to two days before printing, soaking a pearlescent
pigment powder with a particle
diameter of 5-25 [mu]m into a mixed
solvent to make the pearlescent
pigment powder moistened as a paste; 2), adding a thickener, and performing soaking for 3-4 hours to make the
oil absorption of the pearlescent
pigment reach saturation; 3), after the soaking, performing stirring dispersion at a speed of 150r / min, and performing full soaking; 4), before production use, pouring a high-concentration bright silver oil into the well soaked pearlescent pigment container while stirring, and adding a mixed
solvent in an appropriate amount; 5),adding an anti-
settling agent of 1%-5%, and detecting the
viscosity of the
printing ink after stirring for 15 minutes; and 6) in the production process, detecting the
viscosity of the ink once every15-20 minutes to ensure that the
viscosity is controlled in the range of 30-35 s of a No. 4 cup. According to the printing process, after printing, packaged products have a significant pearlescent effect, and the ink has a good stability on
machine, not only can adapt to high-speed
machine stable production, but also is easy to combine with a common
solvent medium; and the operation is easy, and no
pollution is brought.
