Abstract

In view of the current technical bottleneck regarding the single surface effect of the online offset printing reverse glazing process, the work aims to present a pre-surface treatment process based on surface energy regulation. An acrylate-modified polysiloxane/polyethylene wax composite was added to the color ink to reduce the surface energy of the color ink, so as to promote a directional cohesive reaction between the color ink and the UV varnish. Subsequently, by superimposing subsequent printed colors, the simultaneous realization of a dual-effect superposition of a mist-like bright-dull appearance and a gritty tactile sensation in a single-pass online offset printing was achieved. The research indicated that this process could accurately customize micron-scale corrugated structures (with a particle density ranging from 0.1 to 2 mm) through the adjustment of parameters such as the dot area coverage and the coating amount of the UV varnish. Moreover, it enabled bidirectional regulation of the surface gloss and tactile perception. In comparison with traditional reverse vanishing, this process omitted the reverse under-coating printing unit, thereby reducing ink consumption. Additionally, it was compatible with processes such as reverse vanishing and skin-feel treatments. This allowed for the presentation of at least three regionalized effects in a single online combined printing, enhancing the product's sense of hierarchy and significantly improving production efficiency. This technology only requires the installation of a pre-vanishing unit to be adaptable to mainstream production lines. Therefore, it is suitable for extensive promotion and application, offering an efficient and environmentally friendly innovative solution for the differentiated design of cigarette packaging labels.
