The invention relates to the field of
printing ink, and discloses water-based gold ink suitable for
overprinting and a preparation method thereof. The water-based gold ink is prepared from, by weight,15-25 parts of
bronze powder, 30-50 parts of a water-based binder, 15-25 parts of absolute ethyl
alcohol, 10-25 parts of deionized water, 2-5 parts of a surfactant and 1-3 parts of auxiliaries. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing and stirring
bronze powder and a mixed
solvent of absolute ethyl
alcohol and deionized water in parts by weight, fully
wetting and dispersing the materials, soaking the prepared
copper paste for 24 hours, adding the water-based binder into the
copper paste in parts by weight, carrying out stirring at a high speed, fully dispersing the mixtureand adding the surfactant and auxiliaries into the materials, carrying out stirring at a high speed, and uniformly mixing the materials to obtain the water-based gold ink. Compared with the prior art, the phenomenon that
copper powder undergoes an oxidation reaction when meeting water to generate
verdigris is effectively avoided, the
surface tension of the water-based gold ink can be adjusted byadjusting the proportion of the surfactant in the gold ink, and the
overprinting problem of the gold ink can be effectively solved.
