The application belongs to the technical field of ink, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a photosensitive color-changing ink, comprising the following steps: adding modified photosensitive color-changing pigments, dispersants,
defoaming agents, water-based
polyurethane, thickening agents, leveling agents and cosolvents into water in sequence to obtain the photosensitive color-changing ink, and providing the
mass ratio of the photosensitive color-changing ink. The application solves the defects of the existing photo-variable ink, utilizes the transparency and stability of the modified photosensitive color-changing pigments, thickening agents and
defoaming agents to form stable light transfer, directly acts on the modified photosensitive color-changing pigments, and simultaneously, the photoelectric response of
zinc oxide and the color-changing
system of
polyaniline form a synergistic photosensitive color-changing effect, so that a specific photosensitive color-changing ink is obtained.
