How Does Chemi Tech's Aqueous Ink Leveling Agent Perfect Printing?

In the printing workshop, a master craftsman held a newly printed label up to the light, squinting and shaking his head—the fine ripples on the surface resembled a wind-blown lake, with tiny craters along the edges. This was the third sample roll rejected that day.  

Many assume vibrant color alone ensures perfect printing, overlooking the “art of flow.” During drying, variations in molecular tension of aqueous ink can cause leveling defects: orange peel texture here, micro-craters there.  

Then technician Wang tried adding Chemi Tech’s leveling agent.  

This transparent, slightly viscous liquid, built on specialized silicone and polyether modification technology, acts as an invisible “smoothing guide.” It doesn’t alter ink color or viscosity but reduces surface tension, allowing the ink to spread evenly and naturally across substrates. When the same label was printed again, the surface emerged mirror-smooth, even on challenging polyethylene materials—without a single crater. The master examined it under light for a long time before smiling: “This is what ‘ink uniformity perfected’ means.”  

Chemi Tech’s leveling agent excels in precision control. It prevents over-leveling that causes bleeding and avoids rapid curing that leads to wrinkles. Whether on non-absorbent metal films or porous art paper, it adapts to diverse drying processes, revealing craftsmanship in every detail.  

Every successful print is a dance between materials science and practical expertise. The leveling agent may be a small step in production, but it’s a giant leap for quality.
