AI Technical Summary
Traditional CMYK inks have insufficient color gamut coverage and cannot meet the high-color visual requirements, especially on transparent substrates. They also lack high whiteness and high hiding power, resulting in limited color expression.
The UV wide color gamut ink CMYK formula is adopted, including specific weight proportions of pigments, monomers, resins, photoinitiators, co-initiators and fillers. It is prepared by high-speed dispersion and grinding to achieve an ink with a particle size D90≤200nm, and is combined with high-hiding white ink to improve the color gamut and adhesion.
The CMYK ink color gamut reaches 90% Adobe sRGB, and when paired with high-coverage white ink, the whiteness L*≥94, achieving a highly saturated, non-transparent industrial-grade printing effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of printing material technology, and specifically to a UV wide color gamut CMYK ink and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The traditional CMYK ink color gamut covers less than 80% of Adobe sRGB and cannot meet the high-color visual requirements. Especially on transparent substrates such as PET and PP, the ink adhesion is insufficient and the underlying color is easy to show through, resulting in insufficient color concentration.
[0003] Existing technologies mostly use a fixed four-color printing process, and lack systematic research on wide color gamut four colors + extended spot colors (OGV), making it difficult to improve color levels and saturation.
[0004] Existing technologies attempt to improve the effect by adding spot color inks or optimizing the substrate coating, which affects the light transmittance of the transparent substrate. No scientific ink transfer evaluation standards have been established, and there is a lack of UV white ink with high whiteness (L*≥94) and high hiding power (≥98%) as a base color support, resulting in limited color expression.
[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a UV wide color gamut ink CMYK and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems of narrow color gamut, poor adhesion, and insufficient covering power of traditional inks on special substrates, thereby realizing the industrial production of high-fidelity, high-color printing and strong adaptability to surface processing.
