Ink piling is the phenomenon that ink accumulates on the printing plate, ink roller and rubber blanket during the printing process, causing the dots to become fuzzy and unable to print smoothly. This phenomenon can be seen from the changes in the ink film on the roller, which becomes thick and the surface is rough and matte. Because of after the ink is emulsified by the fountain solution, the binder loses the function of carrying the pigment.And ink becomes short and slurry, resulting in poor ink distribution, poor transfer performance, or too high pigment content in the ink. In multi-color printing, if the viscosity of the ink printed later is too high to overprint, a lot of ink will also accumulate on the rubber blanket.Or caused by the poor water resistance of the pigment.Poor dispersion in the binder, incomplete wetting.Too high relative density, small oil absorption, coarse and hard particles.Ink quantity too much.Oil-water unbalance, too much water, etc cause this problem. The problem can be solved by adding suitable, relatively thick binders, wax additives, vaseline, etc.To improve the water resistance of the ink, reducing the amount of ink supplied, reducing the amount of fountain solution used, lowering the acidity of the fountain solution, using better quality paper, choosing suitable pigments (such as pigments with relatively low density) to manufacture inks, and changing inks.

When we are selling ink,we have been asked with our customer that before their supplier ink dry too fast so it cause skinning or dry too slowly are influence next work process.According to this,we would like to give some suggestion to them. 1.Ink dry too fast how to solve? Due to the high storage temperature and long storage time, the ink in the can forms a layer of crust on the surface. This layer of crust must be thrown away and cannot be used, which will lead to quantity loss. In order to prevent this problem from continuing to occur, we recommend that customers store the ink at a temperature of 20-25℃, and use the product within the shelf life. At the same time, some customers also reported that many times when workers get off work or go to eat, they will leave some of the opened ink in the ink can or on the ink fountain. When they go to work again, they will find that these inks cannot be used because they dry too quickly, resulting in ink waste and increasing their workload. In response to this problem, we can make two suggestions from the ink itself. One is to adjust the formula of the ink and reduce the drying speed. The second is to use it with an anti-drying agent, spray a layer of anti-drying agent on the surface of the placed ink to form a protective film. This can maintain the fluidity of the ink for a certain period of time. 2.Ink dry too slowly The ink film is not dry fast within the expected time and is easily smudged. This problem occurs when the amount of desiccant in the ink is insufficient, the drying speed of the binder is slow, the relative humidity in the printing workshop is too high, the acidity of the paper is too high, the humidity is too high, and the acidity of the fountain solution is too high. This problem can be solved by adding desiccant to the ink appropriately, reducing the acidity of the fountain solution, reducing the amount of water, switching to quick-drying ink, adjusting the relative humidity of the workshop to less than or equal to 60%, and maintaining air circulation in the workshop so that the printed products are in an environment with good air circulation.

Currently, most inks in the market require the application of powder during the printing process to prevent ink smudging on the printed surface. The use of powder has certain impacts on the printing environment and the health of factory workers. So, how can we address this issue? DAIHEI Ink has been focusing on finding a solution for over a decade and has collaborated with Japanese ink manufacturers to research and develop powderless inks, which significantly reduce or completely eliminate the need for powder application. DAIHEI Ink's DAIICHI-SPL powderless ink has three main highlights: Highlight 1: Powerful back dirty prevention agent We have innovatively developed a powerful back dirty prevention agent that is twice as effective as previous products. Highlight 2: Special wax formulation Using a special wax formulation, our ink can inhibit stickiness immediately after printing and has excellent durability. Highlight 3: Improved drying performance The ink remains non-drying on the machine but dries instantly on the printed material. It has strong water resistance, good transferability, and stability on the machine. Here are the benefits that can be expected by reducing or eliminating powder usage, as well as the precautions to be taken during printing: Benefits: 1. Improved quality in backside printing   For sheet-fed machines, reducing powder usage to 1/4-1/2 can achieve the same quality in backside printing as surface printing. 2. Increased productivity   Sheet-fed machines not only achieve the aforementioned quality but also reduce the number of rubber blanket washes due to  powder, thereby enhancing production efficiency. For double-sided machines, it reduces the cleaning frequency of the output section and improves productivity. 3. Reduced post-processing issues   It minimizes surface gloss caused by excessive powder and problems during pressure lamination. 4. Improved printing facility environment   Contributes to improving the factory environment by reducing the accumulation of powder at air conditioning vents, preventing issues when restarting the air conditioning after a prolonged shutdown.   Precautions during printing: 1.Paper selection It is known that certain types of paper have poor back dirty prevention effects. The effectiveness is related to the roughness of both sides of the paper, as the back dirty prevention agent cannot function properly on rough paper surfaces. 2.Powder application device The maintenance of the powder application device is crucial to ensure the stable dispersion of a small amount of powder. Additionally, each device has its own characteristics, and the powder output can vary significantly beyond a certain scale. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of each machine. 3.Rubber blanket The selection of a suitable rubber blanket is important for the stable transfer of the back dirty prevention agent and wear-resistant agents in the ink onto the paper. From current knowledge, semi-hard rubber blankets yield good results. Soft rubber blankets tend to retain the back dirty prevention agent on the rubber surface.

Today, all walks of life in the world are actively practicing the concept of environmental protection, printing and packaging industry is naturally no exception, and ink as an important consumable in the printing production process, its own packaging green has also received great attention.   A long history of tin can packaging or exit the stage In the early days, ink basically exists in the form of tin packaging, which has been applied for hundreds of years and has become a common ink packaging method in the global printing industry. Tin can packaging has good mechanical properties, high strength, good rigidity and not easy to break, so it is more convenient in transportation and storage; Excellent barrier property, and has good gas resistance, moisture resistance, light shading and fragrance preservation. The excellent advantage of these tin can packaging can ensure the best printability and rheology of the ink. However, according to incomplete statistics, the average annual consumption of ink cans in the world in recent years is between 3.5 billion and 4 billion (including offset printing and gravure printing), and the average annual consumption of ink cans in China is about 1.5 billion, and it is these cans that cause a large amount of toxic solid waste. These toxic solid wastes not only bring high treatment costs for the majority of printing enterprises, but also there are still many problems in the treatment of the substance that have not been solved, which will cause great harm to the environment. Small packaging of tin ink, after the use of up to 7% of the ink will remain in the ink tank, which is wasted ink not only pollute the environment, but also invisibly increase the production cost of enterprises.     Plastic packaging ink pollution is still difficult to crack Plastic packaging is one of the four major materials in the packaging industry, which has the advantages of low density, high specific strength, high packaging yield (that is, package volume or package area size per unit mass), good chemical resistance, long-term placement is not easy to oxidization, low cost and good insulation. Plastic packaging has been widely used in electronics, food, beverage, medicine and other industries for a long time, and is still an indispensable and important material. However, the garbage pollution generated by plastic packaging is a major culprit in polluting the environment and destroying the ecology. The biggest feature of plastic waste is that it is difficult to degrade, and the current mainstream treatment is landfill, incineration, etc., which not only forms Marine and land pollution, but also enters the human body in the form of plastic particles or chemicals. The ink of plastic packaging needs to be used up, which does not have much impact on uninterrupted production, but as long as the equipment is shut down, the ink is facing the problem of crusting, so it is difficult to store the remaining ink. In addition, plastic packaging ink is not smart enough in the way of adding, it is necessary to manually replace the ink bag frequently, and the bag is removed after the ink is squeezed, which fundamentally does not achieve the purpose of saving labor costs.   Paper bag packaging ink ，the new favorite of the majority of printing enterprises In order to better combine environmental benefits and economic benefits, the industry will lock the packaging material on the paper. As we all know, paper is a renewable resource. Paper bag packaging technology cleverly uses the processing capacity of printing ink on the surface of the paper when the paper is recycled in the paper mill, so that the polluted waste becomes a renewable resource, thereby minimizing environmental pollution. At the same time, due to its flat paper packaging shape, it greatly saves transportation space and storage efficiency. At present, the research and development manufacturers of paper packaging ink in the industry can do that, the paper bag after the ink is squeezed out is only the size of an A4 paper, and it can directly enter the waste paper treatment link of the printing plant. It not only saves the cost of treating the solid waste of the iron can, but also greatly reduces the ink residue, which helps the printing enterprise to save a very considerable economic cost. But there is room for further improvement. For example, ink packaging with paper materials, the outer packaging is too thin, there may be a small probability of broken bags and skin phenomenon, which is not conducive to transportation and long-term storage; There is still a lack of use and wisdom, the paper bag after the ink is squeezed out still needs to be manually torn, if this step is not carried out, the ink in the bag is not easy to dry, hazardous waste treatment is still inevitable.   Paper can packaging ink ，a new round of change shock hit The industry has been trying to carry out a change in ink packaging through a more environmentally friendly and efficient way, so the paper can packaging ink that can make up for the lack of paper bag packaging ink came into being. Paper can packaging is more thick, effectively solve the problems of paper bag packaging in storage and transportation. In addition, the use of paper can packaging and tin can packaging is almost the same, how much ink is needed to take how much ink, after use, can achieve no residue in the packaging, the inner wall of the paper can has been very clean, a very small amount of residual ink compared to the amount of tin can packaging residual ink has been negligible, can be dried through natural oxidation, after use, the paper can can be treated as waste paper waste. Truly make the majority of printing enterprises without waste solid worry. Daihei ink has always adhered to the concept of environmental protection, not only in the ink quality to meet the needs of environmental protection, the development and production of soybean ink, pure vegetable oil ink, will also make improvements in ink packaging, standing in the customer's point of view, from the environmental protection, to achieve environmental benefits and economic benefits double improvement, to make a contribution to environmental protection.

  Offset printing ink, as the core material of the printing industry, its packaging form has always been the focus of ink manufacturers. From early plastic packaging to sturdy iron cans to lightweight paper bags, every type of packaging carries the ingenuity and wisdom of ink manufacturers. Now, the emergence of paper packaging has brought new changes to the ink industry.   With its unique advantages, paper can packaging is gradually becoming the mainstream choice for ink packaging. First of all, paper can packaging has good environmental protection. Compared with plastic and iron cans, paper cans are easier to degrade and recycle, greatly reducing environmental pollution. Secondly, paper can packaging has good moisture-proof and leak-proof properties, which can effectively protect the quality and stability of ink. In addition, paper can packaging also has a beautiful and elegant appearance, which can enhance the overall image of the product.   Daihei Ink, as a leader in the industry, has been committed to promoting the innovation of ink packaging. After unremitting efforts and research and development, Daihei Ink has successfully developed paper can packaging suitable for long-distance transportation. This kind of paper can packaging not only has excellent protective properties, but also maintains the stability and quality of the ink during transportation. This innovation not only enhances the market competitiveness of Daxing Ink, but also highlights the company's efforts for the sustainable development of mankind.   In general, the emergence of paper can packaging has brought new development opportunities to the offset ink industry. Daxing Ink has seized this opportunity and contributed to the sustainable development of human society through continuous innovation and research and development. We believe that in the days to come, Daihei Ink will continue to lead the innovation trend in the ink industry and contribute more wisdom and strength to the development of the printing industry.
