Inkjet inks can be roughly divided into water-based inks, solvent-based inks, and uv-curable inkjet

inks according to their main components. The main characteristics of water-based ink are low cost,

no pollution, and bright colors, but because of the slow volatilization rate of water, the main

component of water-based ink, the inkjet picture made by water-based ink is not easy to dry

and be absorbed by the medium. It is mainly used in paper and various fibers. The class is

the substrate, on the coated medium. Generally, the screens made of water-based ink are

mainly used indoors due to their poor weather resistance, and solvent-based inks are

basically used in outdoor applications.

Since the eco solvent ink takes into account some advantages of both water-based ink and

solvent-based ink, it can be said that it has developed rapidly between water-based ink and

solvent-based ink. In 2004, the world-renowned I.T. Strategies company conducted a survey of

149 image production companies and found that 75% of customers have purchased or are

planning to purchase weak solvent inkjet printers, and only 25% of customers do not intend

to buy. The market demand for ink machines is very good.

Compared with solvent ink, the biggest advantage of eco solvent ink is its friendliness to

the environment, which is mainly reflected in the reduction of volatile VOC and the no longer

use of many toxic organic solvents. It is no longer needed in the production workshop of

weak solvent inkjet printers Ventilation. Compared with water-based ink, eco-solvent ink not

only maintains the advantages of high precision of the picture produced by water-based ink,

but also overcomes the disadvantages of water-based ink, such as the harshness of

the substrate and the fact that the produced picture cannot be used outdoors.

Therefore, eco solvent ink is between water and solvent ink, taking into account the advantages of both.
