A water-basedsoft
printing ink comprises the following compositions: 30 to 35 percent of
pigment, 25 to 32 percent of
acrylic resin, 0.2 to 0.5 percent of antifoaming agent, 2 to 5 percent of
ethylene glycol
monomethyl ether, 1.0 to 2.5 percent of
wax slurry, 0.9 to 1.5 percent of leveling agent, and 23 to 30 percent of water. A preparation method comprises the three working procedures of
colored slurry grinding, aquosity treatment and
printing ink preparation in turn. The water-basedsoft
printing ink has novel compositions, scientific blending, simple preparation, lower cost, fine ink quality, mellow brightness,
high color saturation, brilliant color, high
drying speed, grid point
superimposition and
overprinting, good water
solubility, easy cleaning, corrosiveness free on printing rollers, low
viscosity,
high color content, good penetrability and printing adaptability, suitability for multicolor
machine high-speed printing, high abrasion resistance, difficult decolorization, wide color range, closeness to a
normal color sample, and consistency to the requirements on top-grade printing; and the printing ink also meets EU ROHS standards, and facilitates safe production and
environmental protection with low
air pollution and without any noxious
solvent residual.
