What is difference between oil-based ink and water-based ink in Stormjet eco solvent printer?
Zhengzhou New Century Digital Technology Co., Ltd.
Ink is an important factor in work of Stormjet eco solvent printer, and different types of ink have different effects on eco solvent printer. Therefore, ink used by Stormjet eco solvent printer is different from oil-based ink and water-based ink.
1. Water-based ink
water-based ink of Stormjet eco solvent printer mainly uses water and water-soluble solvents as main components to dissolve color base. The biggest advantage of water-soluble solvents is that they are not harmful to human body and environment. Therefore, water-based inks are also called environmentally friendly inks. Water-based inks are generally produced with nano-level pigments, which overcome sensitivity of dye-based inks to temperature, humidity, atmospheric conditions, and light effects, and can achieve ideal effect of waterproof, light, UV and non-fading.
2. Oil-based ink
Oil-based ink is based on organic solvents (such as toluene, xylene, etc.) as main component of color base. Compared with water-based inks, oil-based inks have a greater relative odor and are generally used in printers. Secondly, due to non-water-soluble pigment ink raw materials used, ph value of oil-based inks is generally acidic.
3.To put it simply, biggest difference between water-based ink and oil-based ink is use of different areas. Water-based inks are mostly used in indoor advertisements, which require high color saturation and printing accuracy; while oil-based inks are mostly used in outdoor areas to resist ultraviolet rays, temperature, and humidity.
