[0002] The flexible packaging industry is widely used in the food and daily necessities industries. For example, cooked food packaging bags are often printed with various exquisite patterns. The inks involved are divided into two categories, one is the inner printing ink and the other is the surface printing ink. The inner printing ink is usually used for lamination, that is, the ink is between two layers of film, and the other is the surface printing ink, that is, the ink is directly exposed to the air. For a long time, these two types of inks cannot be mixed, resulting in the need to constantly change the type of ink in actual production, which also increases the trouble of category management.

[0003] Therefore, unifying the two inks through physical methods can make production management more convenient and reduce ink costs. The surface ink is directly exposed to the air after film formation and will also come into direct contact with human skin, so the ink film is required to be smooth, which directly reflects the physical property of low surface tension. When inks with low surface tension are used for compounding, film separation will occur.
