Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are anionic liquid dyes suitable for water-based ink formulations?
Yes, these dyes are specifically designed for water-based systems including flexographic, gravure, and stationery inks. They offer excellent solubility, stable viscosity, and smooth flow behaviour, ensuring consistent print performance even in high-speed applications.
​
2. Do these dyes cause clogging in printing nozzles or filters?
No, these dyes exhibit excellent filtration behaviour and dissolve completely in aqueous systems. This prevents particle formation and reduces the risk of clogging in nozzles, filters, and printheads during continuous operation.
​
3. How do these dyes improve print quality and colour output?
These dyes provide high tinting strength, strong colour brilliance, and transparency, resulting in sharp print definition, consistent shade reproduction, and visually appealing output across packaging and printing applications.
​
4. Are these dyes compatible with different resin systems used in inks?
Yes, they are compatible with common water-based resin systems such as acrylics, styrene-acrylic emulsions, maleic resins, and shellac-based systems, ensuring formulation flexibility across different ink types.
​
5. Can these dyes maintain stability during storage and varying operating conditions?
Yes, these dyes are engineered for stability under varying pH, humidity, and storage conditions. This ensures consistent performance, minimal degradation, and reliable colour output over time.
​
6. What information is required to select the right dye for ink formulation?
To recommend the most suitable dye, the following details are typically required:
-
Type of ink (flexo, gravure, stationery, industrial marking)
-
Resin system used
-
pH range and solvent system
-
Printing method and speed
-
Required shade and transparency
👉 This ensures optimal compatibility, stability, and print performance.
