Ink knowledge revealed! Do you know what kinds of ink are there?

Ink is a liquid or semi-solid substance widely used in the fields of printing, writing and painting. It consists of pigments, solvents, and additives that print and paint by brushing or spraying on paper, cloth, or other materials.

A wide variety of ink, according to the nature of the pigment, use and use of different media, can be divided into the following categories: water-based ink, oily ink, solvent ink, toner ink, photohardening ink, conductive ink, magnetic ink, anti-counterfeiting ink and so on. The following will detail the characteristics and application areas of each ink.

1. Water-based ink: Water-based ink is an ink with water as a medium, mainly composed of pigments, resins, solvents and additives. It has the characteristics of fast drying, bright color, environmental protection and pollution-free, and is widely used in packaging printing and paper printing.

2. Oil-based ink: oil-based ink is an ink based on oil, and commonly used oils include vegetable oil, mineral oil and alcoholamine oil. Oil-based inks have the characteristics of full color, good durability and strong adaptability, and are widely used in lithography, gravure printing and screen printing.

(3) Solvent ink: solvent ink is a solvent as the medium of the ink, commonly used solvents including ketone, ester and alcohol solvents. Solvent ink has the characteristics of fast drying, bright color and wide adaptability, and has been widely used in advertising, screen printing and inkjet printing.

4. Toner ink: Toner ink is a fine toner pigment ink, often used in copiers, laser printers and digital printing machines and other equipment. Toner ink has the characteristics of bright black, fast printing speed and strong durability, and is widely used in office and commercial printing fields.

5. Photohardening ink: Photohardening ink is a rapidly curing ink using ultraviolet or electron beam radiation, which is often used in fields such as screen printing and flexographic printing. Photohardening ink has the characteristics of fast curing speed, wear resistance and good chemical resistance, and is widely used in electronic products and furniture surface decoration.

6 conductive ink: conductive ink is a kind of conductive ink, often used in printed circuit boards, electronic displays and conductive films and other fields. Conductive ink has the characteristics of good conductivity, strong adhesion and high temperature resistance, and can meet the requirements of electronic components.

7 Magnetic ink: Magnetic ink is a kind of ink containing magnetic particles, often used in the printing of magnetic bar codes, storage media and magnetic cards and other fields. Magnetic ink has the characteristics of magnetic stability, strong adhesion and good durability, and can achieve high quality magnetic printing.

8. Anti-counterfeiting ink: anti-counterfeiting ink is a kind of ink with special effects and security characteristics, often used in the fields of anti-counterfeiting labels, passports and documents. Anti-counterfeiting ink has a variety of effects such as light change, fluorescence, infrared and chemical reaction, which can effectively prevent forgery and tampering.

To sum up, there are many kinds of inks, and each ink has different characteristics and application areas. Understanding different types of inks helps us to better select and apply inks to achieve high-quality printing and painting results. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, the development and application of new inks will continue to emerge, bringing more possibilities to the field of printing and painting.以上翻译结果来自有道神经网络翻译（YNMT）· 通用场景
