Identify the exact film
Provide the film type, treatment and intended print side. Include the full material structure for laminated work and explain whether the printed surface will be exposed.
Ink system
Solvent-based inks
Start with the application. Discuss solvent-based formulation with attention to the substrate, drying setup, print conditions and finished-product requirements.
Discuss your application
THE INK. THE APPLICATION.
Start with the film. Follow the process.
Solvent-based inks are used in a range of flexographic and gravure printing applications, including flexible packaging. Choosing a product means looking at the full job: the film, printing method, drying equipment and any subsequent conversion. Jazeera Inks supplies printing inks with the application at the center of the purchasing conversation.
Application starting points
- Flexographic printing on film
- Gravure packaging applications
- Flexible packaging for further conversion
Product suitability depends on the specific ink, substrate and production conditions. Share your application to discuss available options.
A CONSIDERED APPROACH
It starts with
your application.
Specify the printing conditions
Tell us the press type, drying setup and existing ink reference. Product-specific guidance should determine any reducer, thinner or handling requirements; these should not be assumed from the category name.
Define end-use requirements
Explain the expected handling and finishing conditions. Request the relevant technical and safety data for the proposed product and confirm that it meets the requirements of your job.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
A little more clarity.
Useful answers to help you prepare your next ink enquiry.
Does one solvent-based ink suit every packaging film?
No. Different films, treatments and finished structures may require different products. Share the full substrate specification and intended use so compatibility can be discussed.
Can I use my usual thinner with a new ink?
Confirm this against the specific product's instructions. Do not assume that a thinner or additive used with one ink is suitable for another formulation.
How do I enquire about supply?
Send the printing process, substrate, shade reference, current ink details, quantity and delivery destination. Include any required documentation and production deadlines in the same enquiry.
