Technical innovations are crucial for Chinese printing services.The innovation and technology is the key for companies to develop quickly. Ink enterprises overseas emphasis on the Chinese market, more and more overseas ink suppliers choose to build factories in China, to the greatest efforts to solve the difficult problem of high cost of Chinese enterprises use inkjet technology, the first to win the Chinese printing market. In addition, domestic Glaze enterprises to intensify research on inkjet technology, South China University of Technology set up a special research team, the development of domestic inkjet ink. I believe that in the near future, and is bound to break the the technical difficulties ink costs will no longer restricting china printing enterprises use inkjet technology.

According to informed sources, the shelf life of the ink-jet ink only 2-3 months, is likely to cause precipitation. While inside the nozzles of the ink-jet printer equipped with a circulatory system, but the ceramic inks and household liquid ink, it is a mixture of ceramic pigment and liquid ink, coupled with a higher proportion of colorants can only reduce ink circulation system precipitated. Due to the short shelf life of the ink, the ink-jet ink of foreign sent by air to the Chinese market, and situation caused high ink prices.

Inkjet ink has been developed to 11 colors, but the ink-jet printing china technology can not be ejected crimson or bright red, jet only to the extent of pink. Wrapped in red too coarse particles through the nozzle of the inkjet printer can not, therefore, Chinese printing manufacturers in the industry can not deploy a red ink.

Domestic ink can not be imported sprinklers match, resulting in shortened nozzle life will even affect the product color print effect. Imported things need to pay a higher price, beginning in 2008 to the introduction of the inkjet printing technology, the ink is priced at 100 yuan / ton, and now the price is 36 yuan / ton. Two years, the price has dropped 64%, but the difference of up to 30 times the price of ink and the price of the ordinary color glaze become vexed question many applications inkjet technology to produce ceramic enterprises. According to insiders, the raw material cost of the ink is not high, just because the domestic yet to be a breakthrough in technology, can not be independent R & D and production, often dependent on imports of foreign ink, and abroad ink import transport is limited by ink shelf life result in high costs by air difficult to drop.
