Label Printing Ink Status Analysis (3)

There is a certain gap between domestic inks and imported inks, especially in high-end products. Domestic ink manufacturers should improve their technical level and production capacity as soon as possible to drive the improvement of the entire ink manufacturing industry. In order to achieve a better preservation effect, the label printing ink should be stored in a closed container under normal temperature, cool, dry, dark, and ventilated environment.

The following issues should also be noted during the storage and management of label printing inks:

(1) Safety First, store ink as far away as possible from fire and heat sources to prevent accidents.

(2) It is best to maintain a constant temperature in the ink storage room, and the difference between the temperature of the printing shop and the printing shop should not be too different. If the temperature difference between the two is large, the ink should be placed in the printing shop in advance, which is not only beneficial to the stability of the ink performance, but also ensures the high efficiency of production.

(3) In some areas in the north, the winter is relatively cold, and the ink should be kept outdoors to prevent the gel from gelling at low temperatures. If gelation occurs, transfer it to a warehouse with high temperature, or put it in hot water to restore the insoluble matter.

(4) In the storage and management of inks, the principle of “first in, first out” should be followed, that is, the ink first purchased should be used first to prevent the ink from affecting its use effect due to the long storage time.

(5) The ink also has a certain shelf life. If it is stored too long, various components of the ink will be separated and precipitated. Therefore, the ink should not be stored for a long period of time. The general shelf life is one year.

(6) After printing, the remaining ink must be sealed and stored in a dark place. Before reusing it, it must be filtered with a filter of 100 mesh or more, mixed with new ink before mixing.
Label printing plants should effectively manage label printing inks. The specific measures are: label printing factories generally set up special materials management departments to be responsible for the unified management of raw and auxiliary materials, including ink, and establish a sound material management system. Reasonable feeding and picking procedures, strict warehousing and outbound procedures. That is, the person responsible for the management of the ink, the partition storage of ink products, to avoid false leads, misuse. In addition, detailed records on the type, origin, batch, quantity, and use of inks are required to ensure product traceability.
