Ink Leveling Agent Professional Solution | Chemi Tech Improves Printing Surface Smoothness

In printing production, poor ink leveling often causes orange peel, cratering, or uneven texture, compromising aesthetics and efficiency. To address this, Chemi Tech has developed high-performance ink leveling agents that optimize surface tension and flow to achieve rapid leveling and uniform film formation.  

The core solution involves four steps:  

Step 1: Problem Diagnosis  

Analyze substrate properties, ink type, and printing environment to identify the root cause of leveling defects.  

Step 2: Product Selection  

Match specialized leveling agent models such as KT-101 (for water-based inks) or KT-202 (for solvent-based systems) based on the ink system.  

Step 3: Addition and Process Adjustment  

Incorporate the leveling agent into ink at 0.1%-0.5% dosage, adjusting printing speed and drying conditions to ensure compatibility.  

Step 4: Effect Verification  

Evaluate leveling results using film thickness gauges and visual inspection to ensure a flawless surface and enhanced gloss.  

Case Study:  

A printing company experienced edge cratering and delayed leveling with UV inks. After adding Chemi Tech’s KT-305 leveling agent at 0.3% dosage and optimizing drying temperature, leveling time was reduced by 30%, surface smoothness improved significantly, and customer acceptance rate exceeded 98%.
