Is the eco-solvent printer ink environmentally friendly? Is it harmful to people?

When we are using eco-solvent printer inks, we are worried about whether this ink is toxic and environmentally friendly. Below I will tell you some tips on using this inks.

1. What are the harmful effects of eco solvent ink on the human body? Is it poisonous?

Eco-solvent inks are still very safe and have low volatility and are slightly toxic. Only long-term contact staff need to use protective measures. As long as the human body does not eat, it is harmless to the human body.

2. What are the characteristics of eco solvent inks? What is the difference compared to solvents?

Eco-solvent Printer Ink

Compared with solvent-based inks, the biggest change in eco-solvent inks is environmentally friendly, mainly due to the reduction of volatile VOCs and the elimination of many toxic organic solvents (such as cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.). Ventilation is no longer required in the production plant of the eco-solvent printer. However, we must see that the main component of weak solvent inks is still organic solvents. Objectively speaking, weak solvent inks are a classification of solvent-based inks and are an environmentally friendly version. The ECO of the weak solvent ink can be regarded as the abbreviation of Environmentally safe, uncoated media and Outdoor durable. The general promotion of the machine using ECO-solvent ink is environmental protection, high precision and outdoor weather resistance. In the ink production process, in addition to choosing an environmentally friendly solvent, the weak solvent ink also proposes two higher requirements compared with the solvent-based ink: one is to achieve a high-precision output and must have a dot gain on the ink. The control is better, and the other is that the filtration precision of the ink production process is higher.

Since inkjet eco-solvent inks take into account some of the advantages of aqueous inks and solvent-based inks, it can be said that it has rapidly developed between aqueous inks and solvent-based inks.

3. What are the characteristics of this inks on the market?

(1) Rich colors, realistic effects, wide color gamut, excellent color expression;
(2) Waterproof, resistant to abrasion and not easy to discolor.
(3) Imported raw materials, good dispersion stability, no plugging;
(4) Long-lasting outdoor performance, able to resist the effects of UV light and prevent color fading;
(5) It does not contain toxic solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene or cyclohexanone, and has a very low taste;
(6) Good adhesion, fast drying;

4. How to better use this ink?

Eco-solvent Ink

(1) Due to some characteristics of the inkjet eco-solvent printing ink itself, it is necessary to be particularly careful when using the supply. Some friends use this ink, the outer ink cartridge is leaking, the elbow connecting the ink line is blocked, and finally the print head is broken. So with a corrosion-resistant continuous supply or ink cartridges, especially desktop printers must pay attention to this. Do not use the equipment for a long time, pay attention to the cleaning of the nozzle part, so as to avoid the clogging of the nozzle due to the evaporation and solidification of the residual ink.
(2) Eco solvent inks can be printed on some materials without coating, or by means of printer heating, etc., but for some smooth surfaces, ink alone is powerless, and ink will accumulate in Together, it is impossible to image clearly.

5. How to identify the real eco solvent ink?

(1) First of all, depending on the particle size of the eco solvent inkjet ink, the average particle size should be less than 1um, which allows the manufacturer to provide a test report on the ink by the laser particle size analyzer. If the manufacturer can't get the test laser particle size test report, 90% of it may be boasted.
(2) Secondly, it is necessary to smell the taste of this ink. If the taste is pungent, it is not a weak solvent, and the real weak solvent is almost tasteless. Some manufacturers use PMA as a eco solvent to deceive people.
(3) Finally, check on the machine to see if the color gamut is wide and whether the spray is smooth. The true weak solvent ink has a very wide color gamut and is resistant to light for more than 24 months.
