The invention discloses a novel environment-friendly resinous 
varnish, and relates to the technical field of 
varnish preparation. The novel environment-friendly resinous 
varnish is characterized by comprising the following components in percentage by weight: 5 to 15 percent of 2116 resin, 80 to 90 percent of 
soybean oil and 3 to 8 percent of 
cobalt. A preparation method of the novel environment-friendly resinous varnish comprises the following steps of: putting the 2116 resin and the 
soybean oil into a reaction kettle; when the temperature rises to 160+ / - 5 DEG C, keeping the temperature for half an hour; starting to add the 
cobalt slowly; and stirring uniformly and taking the mixture out of the kettle. The novel environment-friendly resinous varnish has the advantages of simple and feasible and safe preparation process, short production time and low cost. The varnish is light in color, clear and transparent, free from extraneous 
odor, and used for adjusting the fluidity of 
printing ink, has low influence on the 
viscosity of the 
printing ink with appreciated adding amount, also has no influence on the glossiness and the attachment fastness of the 
printing ink, and can be used for improving the aridity of the printing ink. The varnish has no component of 
petroleum-based 
mineral oil, the 
soybean oil replaces all 
petroleum-based solvents, the soybean oil has the characteristics of easy degradability, 
low toxicity and low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the like, so the consumption of non-
renewable resource, namely the 
mineral oil, in printing can be effectively reduced; and therefore, the environmental 
pollution is reduced.
