Currently, the global ink industry profit
growth mainly in packaging and printing inks, digital printing inks and energy
curing inks three fields. This is mainly because the market demand of
traditional publishing and commercial printing inks fields continued to
decline, facing greater pressures, particularly inEuropepublishing and commercial printing ink market situation is not optimistic, slim
hope of recovery. Therefore, ink manufacturers have targeted packaging printing
inks, digital printing inks and energy curing inks, increase research and
development, and enhance innovation capability, it is desirable to enhance
their profitability, but also can greatly enhance the competitiveness of
enterprises.
There is no doubt that in recent years the packaging printing service market
has always been showing a sustained growth trend, and its development in the
coming years the situation will remain more optimistic than the publication

global economic growth is slow, packaging and printing market fluctuations do
not appear large. Packaging printing market is also facing some new changes and
challenges, including: reducing ink migration, small size packaging trends,
packaging materials can be recycled and reduce the impact on the environment
and so on. In fact, these challenges to ink manufacturers to bring new market
opportunities, if we can provide customers with the future development trend of
the new ink products; you can get more room for growth. Expand the domain, and
then the offset areas will gradually adopt this technology.
At the same time, with the rapid
development of digital printing technology, digital printing inks may also become an important development
direction of the global printing ink industry. Especially inkjet printing inks
is the focus of attention of many ink manufacturers.
Energy curable inks areas receiving more
attention is the LED-UV ink. In the past few years, LED-UV curing technology
has matured; the market LED-UV ink manufacturer and product type number is also
increasing. Currently, LED-UV curing technology in the field of digital
printing has gained a high degree of acceptance, is expanding into the field of
flexo and network printing, offset printing field next will gradually adopt
this technology.
Sun Chemical's chief marketing director Mr.
Felipe Mellado sad:� Energy curable inks and ink jet ink is the best
performance of the two areas of Sun Chemical. Compared to 2012, UV / EB ink
market there is a certain level of growth, and the main growth comes from
