Can aqueous intaglio ink replace solvent-based on plastic films?

Hot topic in flexible packaging printing: Can waterborne intaglio ink fully take the place of solvent-based ink for plastic film applications?​

For years, solvent-based inks dominated plastic film gravure printing for fast drying & strong adhesion. But strict global VOC regulations, green packaging trends and workplace safety demands are reshaping the game.​

✅ Aqueous intaglio ink perks for plastic films:​

•Near-zero VOC emissions, compliant with REACH, FDA and eco-label standards​

•Safer production environment, non-flammable & low-toxic formula​

•Stable printing performance, vivid color & good adhesion on BOPP, PET, PE films​

•Lower long-term cost for waste disposal & compliance​

With upgraded formula and drying tech, modern aqueous intaglio ink is closing the gap with solvent-based alternatives. It’s not just a replacement—it’s a sustainable upgrade for plastic film printing.​
