Application of water-based ink leveling agent in the printing industry

2025-03-22

Application of water-based ink leveling agent in the printing industry


1. Application in water-based ink printing

Water-based ink leveling agent is an auxiliary agent designed specifically for water-based ink printing. 

It can significantly improve the leveling of water-based ink, making it easier for the ink to spread and 

wet the substrate during the printing process. By adding an appropriate amount of water-based ink 

leveling agent, the surface tension of the ink can be reduced, the uniformity and adhesion of the ink 

can be improved, thereby reducing defects such as spots and scars on the surface of the printed matter, 

and improving the overall quality and aesthetics of the printed matter.


2. Application in packaging printing

In packaging printing, water-based ink leveling agents also play an important role. Packaging printed 

matters usually require high flatness and glossiness, and the use of water-based ink leveling agents can 

significantly improve the surface properties of printed matters, making them smoother and more delicate. 

In addition, water-based ink leveling agents can also improve the firmness and durability of printed matters, 

ensuring that packaging printed matters are not easily damaged during transportation and storage.


3. Application in advertising printing

Advertising printed materials usually require bright colors and clear images, and the use of water-based ink 

leveling agents can improve the brightness and color of water-based ink, making printed materials more vivid 

and bright. At the same time, water-based ink leveling agents can also reduce errors and defects in the printing 

process, improve the accuracy and clarity of printed materials, and thus meet the high quality requirements of 

advertising printed materials.


4. Application in other printing fields

In addition to the above-mentioned fields, water-based ink leveling agents can also be used in many other printing 

fields, such as label printing, book printing, etc. In these fields, water-based ink leveling agents can also play a role in 

improving leveling and improving printing quality, bringing higher production efficiency and economic benefits to 

printing companies.


5. Precautions for use

Dosage control: The amount of water-based ink leveling agent should be adjusted according to the properties of the ink 

and printing requirements to avoid adverse effects caused by excessive use.


Stir evenly: Before adding the water-based ink leveling agent, ensure that it is fully stirred with the ink to ensure that its 

effect is fully exerted.


Adaptability test: Before formal use, it is recommended to conduct an adaptability test to evaluate the impact of water-based 

ink leveling agents on the printing process and the quality of printed products.


In summary

water-based ink leveling agents have broad application prospects and significant advantages in the printing industry. 

By using water-based ink leveling agents reasonably, printing companies can improve production efficiency, reduce production 

costs, and improve the quality of printed products, thereby achieving better economic and social benefits.
