Dye-Sublimation & Direct to Garment Inks
Two notable methods with distinct benefits and uses are dye sublimation and direct-to-garment printing. We delve into the nuances of these inks in...
In this article we take a look at why water-based digital inkjet inks are an increasingly popular option due to their environmental friendliness and their application versatility.
Water-based inks are defined as inks that use water as the main solvent for carrying pigment. These inks are made from water, rather than other components such as plastic or PVC. Water-based inks use water as a medium to bring pigments (colours) into the substrate. Water-based inks require a longer drying time during the production process. Due to the low chemical risk associated with water-based inkjet inks, this inkjet ink technology is well suited for primary and secondary packaging applications, including food packaging production.
Aqueous, water-based inks are particularly useful for printing onto non-porous surfaces and those which may come into contact with items for human consumption. They are also much kinder to the environment and equipment:
Water-based inks are particularly useful for printing onto various substrates within a range of industries. Here are a few:
