Flexographic Printing Inks

Formulating the right ink for the right substrate and application goes a long way in Flexographic Printing Ink Technology. Formulation of flexographic inks requires a detailed knowledge of the physical and chemical properties of the raw materials composing the inks, and how these ingredients affect or react with each other as well as with the environment. Flexographic printing inks are primarily formulated to remain compatible with the wide variety of substrates used in the process. Each formulation component individually fulfills a special function and the proportion and composition will vary according to the substrate.
