Summary
In the printing industry, the quality of ink directly determines the final product's presentation. The selection of pigments is crucial to high-quality ink. Today, let's explore how to choose suitable pigments to prepare high-quality inks.
Five Key Factors in Pigment Selection
Ink is mainly composed of pigments, resins, solvents, and other raw materials, with pigments being the core, directly affecting the ink's performance and quality.
Color Characteristics
The success of printing depends on the pigment's hue, transparency, and saturation. Hue determines the color type, transparency affects layering, and saturation relates to color vibrancy. Selecting the most suitable pigment for specific printing needs ensures vibrant colors and outstanding results. For example, printing exquisite posters requires high-saturation pigments to showcase vibrant colors, while printing artwork may prioritize transparency for rich layers.
Dispersibility
A pigment's dispersibility in the resin binder directly affects the ink's stability and printing quality. Good dispersibility allows for more uniform ink mixing, preventing inconsistencies or sedimentation, leading to smoother printing and consistent product quality. If the pigment is not dispersed evenly, the printed pattern may have uneven color blocks, severely affecting the aesthetics of the printed product.
Lightfastness
Lightfastness is crucial for outdoor advertising and packaging printing. Good lightfastness pigments withstand prolonged sunlight exposure, ensuring printed products remain vibrant and don't fade, keeping advertisements and packaging bright for longer. Only with good lightfastness pigments can outdoor advertisements, exposed to sun and rain, remain clearly visible for an extended period.
Heat Resistance
In high-temperature environments, pigment heat resistance is crucial. Discoloration or decomposition of pigments will severely affect print quality. Selecting heat-resistant pigments ensures ink stability at high temperatures, meeting the needs of various high-temperature printing processes. For instance, in heat transfer printing processes, heat-resistant pigments maintain the original color after high-temperature treatment.
Special Requirements of Applications
Different ink applications have different pigment requirements. Food packaging inks require pigments with excellent heat and steam resistance to prevent the release of harmful substances during cooking, ensuring food safety. Electronic product printing may require pigments with specific properties, such as conductivity or corrosion resistance.
