The methods are bound to be economically viable and as a result the importance of aforementioned
process is increasing. Printing inks are widely differentiated by the printing process on the basis of
their use. Letter graphs and lithographic inks are highly viscous than the flexographic and gravure inks
which are referred as liquid inks. Printing inks are combination of three ingredients, pigments,
vehicles and additives. Pigments demonstrate ink color inclusive of hue and strength. Also the physical
properties such as rheology, opacity, fastness and bleed resistance are determined too. Additives may
comprise a large number of ingredients needed to deploy certain characteristics to ink such as driers,
waxes, plasticizers, lubricants, curing and rheological agents.
From the commercial point of view, exposures in the printing industry are regulated on a component-
specific basis for some solvents & ink constituents and also using non-specific measurements such as
measurement of aerosols and total hydrocarbons. Occupational exposure limits are maintained for
many individual substances found in printing ink manufacture & in printing processes; for instance,
alcohols, esters, glycol ethers, ketones, aliphatic hydrocarbons, acrylates, aromatic hydrocarbons,
carbon black and organic dyes. Therefore, the formulation for a specific application depends on the
type of substrate, implemented process, and end use. Thus, the ink additives market is anticipated to
grow at a moderate rate CAGR during the forecast period. The key driving factors responsible for the
growth of global ink additives market includes rising trend of ink additives to develop eco-friendly
products such as non-VOC additives, high-sensitives UV, water-based additives with need for
providing high value, green additives that offer improved performance and minimum impact on
environment. However, the rising pressure on manufacturers to adhere to regulatory restrictions,
guidelines and lower usage at cheaper costs is likely to impede the market growth during the forecast
period.
