1. Avoid Mixing with Solvent-based Ink:
Water-based inks should not be mixed with solvent-based inks. When adjusting the viscosity or drying speed during use, you should add small amounts of alcohols or esters as additives.
2. Stir Before Use:
Always stir the ink thoroughly before pouring it into the ink tray. Adjust the viscosity using water as needed before starting the printing process.
3. Check Technical Indicators:
Prior to use, verify that the technical specifications of the ink meet the required standards.
4. Monitor Viscosity and pH During Printing:
The evaporation of water during printing can alter the viscosity and pH of the ink. Regularly check the viscosity and pH, and if necessary, add purified tap water or pH stabilizer to maintain consistency.
5. Clean After Use:
After printing, clean the ink remaining on the printing equipment with clean water to prepare for the next printing session.
