    Ink is an important material used for printing packaging materials. It is composed of pigments, binders, additives and solvents. They are uniformly mixed and repeatedly rolled to form a viscous colloidal fluid. The performance of the ink has a great influence on printing production efficiency and product quality. As a professional reliability third-party testing organization, T,C&A Lab can provide Ink Testing and Analysis service according to ISO, ASTM standards and industry requirements. Welcome to contact our experts for consultation.

    The products we can test include but not limited to:

    • Functional inks: Reflective ink, ceramic ink, glass ink, pad printing ink, fluorescent ink, printer ink, woven bag ink.
    • Environmentally friendly inks: UV ink, offset printing ink, water-based ink, soybean oil-based ink, solvent-based ink, fat-soluble ink, alcohol-soluble ink.
    • Other inks and additives: Reactive ink, whiteboard pen water, color-changing ink, mirror ink, relief ink, gravure ink, anti-counterfeiting ink, silk screen ink.
