The main types of ink used in today's printers

胶印（粘合）油墨 Offset printing (adhesive) ink

胶印油墨（或新闻墨水）是报纸、电话簿等的主要墨水，它们由炭黑和粘合剂组成，除非需要彩色颜料。它们是出版物的理想选择。

Offset printing inks (or news inks) are the main inks used in newspapers, telephone directories, etc. They consist of carbon black and adhesives, unless color pigments are required. They are ideal for publications.

包装用液体油墨 Liquid ink for packaging

液体油墨，主要是柔印和凹印油墨，是包装的主导技术，柔印是主导工艺，柔印和凹版印刷机是卷对卷印刷机，根据基材和应用，油墨涵盖水性、溶剂型和紫外线技术的所有领域。

Liquid inks, mainly flexographic and gravure printing inks, are the leading technology in packaging. Flexographic printing is the leading process. Flexographic and gravure printing machines are roll to roll printing machines. Depending on the substrate and application, inks cover all fields of water-based, solvent based, and UV technology.

至于液体墨水的成分，糊状墨水和液体墨水的主要区别在于树脂的种类和添加剂。糊状墨水使用烃类树脂，而液体墨水将使用丙烯酸、硝化纤维、聚酰胺和其他类型的树脂。

As for the composition of liquid ink, the main difference between paste ink and liquid ink is the type of resin and additives. Paste inks will use hydrocarbon resins, while liquid inks will use acrylic, nitrocellulose, polyamide, and other types of resins.

数字墨水 Digital ink

数码印刷是印刷中增长最快的领域，它已经占领了以前由屏幕（广告牌、瓷砖）和胶印（直邮）主导的市场，它在纺织品和折叠纸盒等市场也正在增长，数字墨水也已扩展到瓦楞纸印刷市场。

Digital printing is the fastest-growing field in printing. It has occupied the market previously dominated by screens (billboards, tiles) and offset printing (direct mail). It is also growing in markets such as textiles and folding cartons, and digital ink has also expanded to the corrugated paper printing market.

能量固化油墨 Energy curable ink

在过去的二十多年里，能量固化油墨在包装和数字印刷方面取得了很大的的进展。这些被分解为紫外线 (UV)、电子束 (EB) 以及最近的紫外线LED，因为它不需要传统紫外线中使用的汞基灯，所以它的使用正在迅速增长。

In the past twenty years, energy curable inks have made great progress in packaging and digital printing. These are broken down into ultraviolet (UV), electron beam (EB), and more recently ultraviolet LEDs, whose use is growing rapidly because they do not require mercury based lamps used in traditional ultraviolet light.
