Water-based flexographic inks are a type of printing ink specially formulated for flexographic printing, using water as the primary solvent combined with pigments and various additives. Compared to solvent-based inks, water-based inks emit significantly lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them more environmentally friendly and aligned with the sustainable development trends of the global printing industry. These inks offer excellent printability, enabling high-quality graphics and text on a variety of substrates such as paper, corrugated cardboard, plastic films, and aluminum foil. Water-based flexographic inks feature fast drying times, strong adhesion, and good abrasion resistance while reducing health risks for operators and minimizing fire hazards. They are widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, label printing, paper bags, shopping bags, and courier packaging. With increasingly stringent global environmental regulations such as EU REACH and U.S. EPA standards, water-based flexographic inks are steadily replacing traditional solvent-based inks to become the mainstream choice in the flexographic printing market.
