[0002] The first color ordinary commemorative coin issued in China laid the application technology foundation of the color jet printing process on ordinary commemorative coins. In order to further enrich the artistic expression of future ordinary commemorative coins, it is necessary to reserve the color jet printing process of complex color jet printing effect patterns in advance, so as to prepare for the development of high-quality color ordinary commemorative coins with more delicate and colorful patterns.

[0003] In order to be able to continuously issue high-quality jet printing pattern ordinary commemorative coins with rich colors, delicate patterns and novel themes, and at the same time realize the goal of independent production of jet printing ink products, meet the needs of future color ordinary commemorative coin issuance, it is necessary to develop jet printing ink that can achieve stable and excellent adhesion on the surface of a coin, and the jet printing primer ink plays a very key role. The existing metal substrate surface jet printing technology still has some defects and limitations. The metal surface is smooth and dense, and needs to be pretreated before printing, such as plasma wind, etching, etc., which increases the time and labor cost. Direct jet printing on the metal surface, the adhesion of free radical type ink is poor, and it is easy to fall off or fade. SUMMARY
