Printing Ink Solvent
Printing Ink Solvent
Fast-evaporating, solvent-based thinner for flexographic printing inks.
Printing Ink Solvent is based on ethyl acetate at a proprietory composition developed for viscosity adjustment and dilution of compatible solvent-based flexographic printing inks.
The formulation provides rapid solvent evaporation, good solvency, and improved ink flow during printing. It can help maintain consistent ink transfer, print definition, and drying performance when used at an appropriate dosage.
The product is intended for use in industrial flexographic printing operations, subject to compatibility with the ink resin system, substrate, and printing conditions.
Use RXSOL Printing Ink Solvent Flexo Reducer - a propietory industry approved formulation for an excellent flexographic reducer, thinner with rapid solvent evaporation, good solvency, and improved ink flow during printing
- Flexible packaging printing - For viscosity adjustment of compatible inks used on plastic films and flexible packaging materials.
- Packaging and label printing - For selected solvent-based inks used in packaging, labels, and related printed materials.
- Ink preparation and viscosity control - For controlled dilution of compatible inks before and during printing.
- Check compatibility: Confirm that the thinner is suitable for the ink resin system and substrate. Test a small sample before production use.
- Measure initial viscosity: Determine the ink viscosity using the appropriate viscometer or flow cup specified by the ink manufacturer.
- Add gradually: Introduce Printing Ink Solvent in small increments while continuously stirring the ink.
- Adjust viscosity: Continue adding thinner until the required printing viscosity is achieved.
- Verify print performance: Check drying time, ink transfer, adhesion, print definition, and resistance under actual operating conditions.
Recommendation from Industry experts: Use the ink manufacturer's recommended dosage as the starting point. No universal dilution ratio can be specified without knowing the ink formulation and printing conditions.
Excessive thinning may reduce color strength, adhesion, and print performance.
Advantages for your printing setup if you use RXSOL Printing Ink Solvent Flexo Reducer:
- Rapid evaporation: Supports quick solvent release during flexographic printing.
- Viscosity adjustment: Helps reduce ink viscosity to the required printing range.
- Improved ink flow: Supports smooth ink transfer and printing consistency.
- Solvent compatibility: Suitable for selected solvent-based flexographic ink systems.
- Convenient application: Can be incorporated into ink during controlled thinning and viscosity adjustment.
With wide range of applications such as ink solvent, fast-drying agent for printing inks, adhesion enhancer, and cleaning agent, RXSOL Flexo Reducer is an industry standard for flexographic printing setups.

Know if Flexo Reducer is compatible:
- Compatibility depends on the ink's resin system, including nitrocellulose, polyamide, polyurethane, acrylic, or other binder systems.
- The solvent blend may not be suitable for every flexographic ink, particularly water-based or specially formulated inks.
- Fast evaporation can contribute to drying on the printing plate or anilox system if ventilation, press speed, or solvent balance is unsuitable.
- Excessive solvent addition may affect ink film formation, adhesion, rub resistance, and final print quality.
- Test on the intended substrate, especially polyethylene, polypropylene, PET, coated films, and treated packaging materials.
