Gloss, as a kind of visual information, can have an important impact on people's mental state, emotion and many other spiritual aspects. Therefore, people's research on color has begun very early. For the printing industry, whether a printed product has gloss is particularly important. So how to effectively improve the gloss of printed matter without considering the post press polishing treatment? Now, let's take a look.

1、改進(jìn)酸性潤(rùn)濕液。

1. Improve acid wetting solution.

以鉻酸、磷酸為主，酸性越強(qiáng)，對(duì)油墨連結(jié)料和顏料的分解力、腐蝕力越大，致使印跡膜面粗糙，降低了光澤。

It is mainly chromic acid and phosphoric acid. The stronger the acidity, the greater the decomposition and corrosion of ink binder and pigment, resulting in rough surface of imprinted film and reduced gloss.

2、降低油墨乳化度。

2. Reduce ink emulsification.

膠印中的油墨乳化過度大都是操作中水大墨多造成的，印跡看上去墨層很厚，但油墨分子成了水包油的狀態(tài)，干燥后光澤性非常差，而且還會(huì)產(chǎn)生一系列其它故障。水大墨多是膠印中比較犯忌的做法。

The excessive emulsification of ink in offset printing is mostly caused by large amount of water and ink in operation. The ink layer looks very thick, but the ink molecules become oil in water. After drying, the gloss is very poor, and a series of other faults will occur. Water and ink are mostly taboo practices in offset printing.

3、油墨中適當(dāng)?shù)募臃泡o助劑。

3. Add appropriate auxiliary agent in the ink.

在油墨中加放適當(dāng)?shù)妮o助劑，可以調(diào)節(jié)油墨的印刷適性，以便順利印刷，絕大部分輔助劑對(duì)于成品光澤都會(huì)帶來不利影響。例如防粘劑，主要原料為六谷粉，加入油墨后，印跡膜層表面由于玉米粉的析出而變的粗糙，成品光澤性就差。

Adding appropriate auxiliary agents to the ink can adjust the printability of the ink for smooth printing. Most auxiliary agents will have an adverse impact on the gloss of the finished product. For example, the main raw material of the anti adhesion agent is Liugu powder. After adding ink, the surface of the imprinted film becomes rough due to the precipitation of corn flour, and the gloss of the finished product is poor.

4、正確使用燥油。

4. Use dry oil correctly.

對(duì)于高級(jí)的亮光快干油墨，在溫、濕度正常的情況下，自身已有足夠的干燥能力。如果在冬季溫、濕度偏低或者油墨內(nèi)須添加防粘劑、去粘劑、薄調(diào)墨油等的情況下，都應(yīng)加放燥油。在工藝操作中，正確的使用燥油，對(duì)于成品形成光澤非常有利。這是因?yàn)榧垙埼者B結(jié)料需要一定的時(shí)間，在此過程中，盡快使連結(jié)料凝聚，直至結(jié)膜干燥，是成品光澤好的關(guān)鍵。

For advanced bright quick drying ink, it has sufficient drying capacity under normal temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity are low in winter or the ink must be added with anti adhesion agent, de adhesion agent, thin ink blending oil, etc., the drying oil shall be added. In the process operation, the correct use of dry oil is very beneficial to the formation of luster of the finished product. This is because it takes some time for the paper to absorb the binder. In this process, it is the key to make the binder agglomerate as soon as possible until the conjunctiva is dry.

5、注意噴粉。

5. Pay attention to powder spraying.

噴粉同油墨一樣，也會(huì)產(chǎn)生凝聚，特別是密封不好的袋裝或桶裝，噴粉受潮后，凝聚成較大的顆粒，噴到濕墨印跡上，使墨層表面結(jié)膜粗糙，降低了原有的光澤，因此噴粉要注意防潮。另外，噴粉裝置的機(jī)構(gòu)上有加熱裝置，在使用噴粉時(shí)應(yīng)加以檢查，加熱裝置是否失靈。

Like ink, powder spraying will also produce condensation, especially in bags or barrels with poor sealing. After powder spraying is damp, it will condense into larger particles and spray them on the wet ink imprint, making the conjunctiva on the surface of the ink layer rough and reducing the original luster. Therefore, powder spraying should pay attention to moisture-proof. In addition, there is a heating device on the mechanism of the powder spraying device. When using the powder spraying device, check whether the heating device fails.

除此之外，正確調(diào)節(jié)機(jī)器，也可以提高印刷品光澤度，印跡墨層厚度是否達(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，對(duì)于光澤也有影響，因此，要把壓力調(diào)整好，使網(wǎng)點(diǎn)的擴(kuò)大率控制在15%左右，所印的產(chǎn)品墨層既厚實(shí)，層次又拉的開，光澤自然也會(huì)有了。

In addition, the correct adjustment of the machine can also improve the gloss of printed products. Whether the thickness of the imprinted ink layer meets the standard also has an impact on the gloss. Therefore, the pressure should be adjusted well to control the dot expansion rate at about 15%. The ink layer of the printed products is thick and open, and the gloss will naturally be improved.
