Abstract

The work aims to analyze the factors affecting the light fastness of milk powder cans and to provide a reference for fading and discoloration issues of milk powder cans in the market. The accelerated xenon arc aging test was adopted to simulate natural light exposure, in order to verify the consistency between the light fastness grades of printing inks and their corresponding pigments. Then, particular attention was given to the effects of varnishing, dot coverage, diluent addition ratios, and the combined use of dots with diluent on light fastness performance. The light fastness grade of the tested inks was generally consistent with those of the pigments. The application of an overprint varnish provided a protective effect and effectively improved its light fastness. Both dot coverage and diluent ratios significantly impacted ink light fastness. In particular, when low light fastness inks were employed, the use of low dot coverage, high diluent levels, or their combination should be carefully evaluated. Overall, to ensure superior light fastness and color stability in milk powder cans, it is recommended to prioritize high-grade lightfast inks while exercising strict control over dot coverage and diluent concentration.
