What is the main function of ink thinner?
Adjust viscosity: Ink thinner can reduce the viscosity of the ink, making it easier to apply and print. Improve printability: By adjusting the flow of the ink, ink thinner can enhance the printing performance of the ink, making it more suitable for different printing processes.

What are the common ink additives?
Ink additives are auxiliary materials used to adjust ink to suit different printing conditions. There are many types of ink additives; commonly used ones include leveling agents, ink modifiers, dryers, retarders, thinners, abrasion resistance agents, and varnishes.
How to Choose the Right Diluent
Choose according to the type of ink: Different types of ink require different thinners. Therefore, when selecting a thinner, you must first understand the type of ink being used.
What are the differences between the various models of the Cai En Cup and how to use the Cai En Cup
Cup No. 1: Suitable for very thin liquids Cup No. 2: Thin oil, mixed coatings, varnish Cup No. 3: Medium viscosity, mixed coatings, varnish Cup No. 4: Thicker fluids and mixtures Cup No. 5: Especially viscous fluids and mixtures.
Types and Performance Characteristics of Thinners
1. Mineral oil-based diluents: They have good solubility and volatility, suitable for most inks. However, their high volatility may cause the printed material to dry too quickly, affecting the printing quality.
Requirements of Different Printing Materials for Ink
Newsprint: The relief printing ink used for newsprint is a very thin, low-viscosity, and highly fluid ink, whose fluidity depends on the speed of the printing machine. Its drying is entirely absorption and penetration drying. Nowadays, news printing has been replaced by rotary offset printing from relief printing, and flexographic printing is also used in news printing, with water-based inks being widely used in flexographic printing.
