Food grade offset printing ink is a special ink specially designed for the printing of food packaging and related products. Its ingredients have been strictly screened, and the pigments are mostly non-toxic inorganic pigments or organic pigments that have been certified for safety, and do not contain harmful heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. The binders are generally biodegradable or environmentally friendly, and the solvents also follow strict safety standards to ensure that no harmful substances are released when in contact with food, ensuring food safety. Its production process follows a strict quality control system and has passed a number of food safety testing and certifications, such as the relevant standards of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
1. How to use food-grade offset printing ink
Before use, it is necessary to select the appropriate type of food-grade offset printing ink according to the requirements of the printing material and pattern. Start with a thorough cleaning of the printing equipment to remove residual impurities and old ink. Pour the ink into the ink tank and adjust the ink roller gap to ensure that the ink is evenly distributed. By adjusting the parameters of the printing machine, such as pressure, speed, etc., the ink can be accurately transferred to the printing plate. During the printing process, it is necessary to continuously monitor the viscosity and dryness of the ink, and add thinner or desiccant at the right time to ensure stable printing quality. After printing, clean the equipment in time to prevent the ink from drying and affecting the next use.
2. Advantages of food-grade offset inks
High safety and health protection
Food-grade offset printing ink is extremely strict in the selection of raw materials, using non-toxic and harmless substances that meet food safety standards. It does not contain harmful heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., and the connecting materials and solvents are also environmentally friendly materials, ensuring that when in contact with food, harmful substances will not migrate out to contaminate the food, and effectively protect the health of consumers.
