Ink is a homogeneous mixture composed of coloring agents (such as pigments and dyes), vehicle substances, fillers, additives, and other components; it is capable of being printed and dries on the substrate. It is a colored, paste-like adhesive with a certain degree of fluidity. Therefore, color (hue), body (rheological properties such as viscosity and flowability), and drying performance are the three most important characteristics of ink. There are many different types of ink, each with distinct physical properties: some are very thick and sticky, while others are quite thin. Some inks use vegetable oils as vehicles, whereas others employ resins, solvents, or water as vehicles. The choice of vehicle depends on factors such as the printing substrate, the printing method, the type of printing plate, and the drying technique used.

The ink should have a certain degree of fluidity and meet the requirements of various printing processes. It must dry rapidly on the printed material, and once dried, the ink film should exhibit corresponding resistance to water, acid, alkali, light, rubbing, and abrasion.

The liquid component in ink is called the vehicle; the solid components are pigments (either pigments or dyes) and various additives.

For inks, color, body (typically referring to the ink’s rheological properties such as viscosity and fluidity), and drying performance are the three most important characteristics. These are also the key factors that should be carefully considered when formulating ink recipes, developing production processes, and manufacturing inks. The ink film on printed materials must possess a certain degree of resistance and durability to ensure that the printed products are practically useful. Mastering techniques such as mixing spot colors, controlling ink usage, and making full use of leftover ink not only helps conserve materials but also contributes to the improvement of one’s personal qualities and technical skills. An excellent ink mixer plays a crucial role in the development of new inks, innovation in color palettes, and reduction of ink costs.

Nail gel

The packaging of gel nail polish is similar to that of traditional nail polish—each comes with an integrated brush for direct application. However, since gel nail polish cures when exposed to light, the outside of the gel polish bottle must be coated with a layer of paint to prevent light from penetrating. Gel nail polish boasts characteristics such as being non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly. It combines the glossy finish of gel with the vibrant color of oil-based polishes. As a symbol of the latest trend in manicuring, gel nail polish differs from conventional nail polishes in that its raw materials are derived from natural resins, giving it eco-friendly, non-toxic, and health-safe properties.

Vacuum plating

As is well known, by depositing a thin film onto the surface of certain materials, it is possible to endow those materials with numerous new and improved physical and chemical properties. In the 1970s, the primary methods for coating surfaces were electroplating and chemical plating. The former involves passing an electric current through an electrolyte, causing the ions in the electrolyte to be deposited onto the substrate, which serves as the other electrode. Consequently, for this type of coating to work effectively, the substrate must be an excellent electrical conductor, and it is also difficult to precisely control the thickness of the resulting film.

Glossy paper

Gloss coatings for paper are varnishes used for coating and decorating book and magazine covers, advertising posters, outer packaging cartons for goods, decorative paper bags, and other similar applications, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the coated surfaces. Previously, the conventional method of applying a gloss finish to paper involved adhering a layer of polyethylene or polypropylene film onto the paper surface. The application process included steps such as glue coating and film lamination, followed by a waiting period for the interlayer adhesive to cure. Overall, this method featured low production efficiency, higher technical requirements for application, and uncertain durability of the plastic film, especially when the products were intended for long-term use.
