If stopped for more than 30 minutes, flush the ink path thoroughly with water.
Q1: Can this ink be used for printing on recycled corrugated boards?
A: Yes, our water-based ink is specifically formulated to adhere well to both virgin and recycled corrugated boards. Its strong penetration and coverage ensure consistent color and print quality even on rough or porous recycled surfaces.
Q1: How should I store unused ink to maintain its quality?
A: Store the ink in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Always keep the container tightly sealed to prevent skinning and contamination. Properly stored, the ink has a shelf life of 12 months.
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and lead time?
A: Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 20KG per color. We pride ourselves on fast service; for confirmed orders, we typically arrange shipment within 3 days after receiving payment.
Q1: What is the recommended drying method for printed cartons?
A: The ink dries quickly through evaporation and absorption. For optimal results, we recommend using hot air drying systems or infrared (IR) dryers in your flexographic printing line. The ink’s fast-drying properties also support high-speed printing up to 450 meters per minute.
Q1: Can I adjust the ink’s viscosity with water?
A: Yes, you can use clean water to adjust the viscosity, but we recommend adding no more than 5% water by volume to avoid compromising the ink’s print performance and color strength. Always measure viscosity with a Zahn cup before printing.
