Industries We Serve

Application-matched printing ink and chemical solutions for diverse manufacturing sectors

Cross-Industry Expertise

Formulated for Exacting Manufacturing Environments

Industrial printing is rarely one-size-fits-all. Every substrate presents unique surface tension properties, drying windows, and mechanical wear criteria. Krishna Ink collaborates directly with production managers, press operators, and chemical engineers to deliver bespoke formulations, technical diluents, and operational additives that maximize yield, reduce downtime, and ensure absolute color fidelity.

Application Sector 01

Screen Printing Industry

Screen printing is used for high-quality, durable printing on textiles, plastics, glass, metals, and many other substrates. Krishna Ink supplies a range of screen printing inks suited to manual screen printing and automatic flatbed or carousel press operations. Our screen printing inks are available in standard and custom colours across plastisol-type, water-based, metallic, fluorescent, and substrate-specific formulations.

We engineer our screen inks with optimized thixotropy, ensuring effortless screen shearing under squeegee pressure followed by crisp edge recovery to prevent bleeding. Whether printing intricate fine-mesh vector designs or depositing thick opaque underbases onto dark garments, our formulations maintain consistent open-screen times without drying prematurely in the mesh.

To support complete pressroom operations, Krishna Ink also supplies compatible screen chemicals, curable reducers, and screen wash thinners that keep stencils clean and extend screen life across extensive print runs.

Application Sector 02

Textile Printing Industry

The textile and garment industry requires inks and printing pastes that deliver vibrant colour, washfastness, and compatibility with fabric construction and treatment. Krishna Ink supplies pigment printing pastes, reactive formulations, and discharge printing bases for use on cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics in flat-bed and rotary printing systems.

Our textile solutions are formulated with flexible high-polymer binders that cure to an exceptionally soft handle, preserving the natural drape and breathability of knit and woven goods. Each pigment dispersion offers outstanding dispersion stability, preventing agglomeration during continuous rotary pumping and long roll-to-roll production runs.

With stringent international fastness benchmarks in mind, our textile inks deliver superior wet and dry crock-fastness, resistance to chlorine washings, and robust stability against dry cleaning solvents.

Application Sector 03

Plastic & Polymer Printing

Printing on plastics and polymer substrates requires inks with excellent adhesion and compatibility with the specific substrate surface energy. Our plastic substrate screen printing inks are formulated for rigid and flexible PVC, PE, PP, and similar polymer materials. Adhesion promoters and surface preparation chemicals support improved ink adhesion.

Polyolefin polymers like untreated polyethylene and polypropylene have low critical surface tension, typically causing ink de-wetting and poor rub resistance. Krishna Ink manufactures specialized adhesion-promoting primers and solvent-based chemical active additives that form strong molecular crosslinks with polymer chains, resisting flaking, bending, and outdoor weathering.

From blow-molded industrial containers, rigid PVC signage, and thermoformed blisters to acrylic panels and consumer goods enclosures, our formulations deliver deep gloss, scratch resistance, and solvent resistance.

Application Sector 04

Paper & Packaging Printing

Paper, board, and packaging printing demands consistent colour reproduction, fast drying, and compatibility with downstream processes such as folding, cutting, and lamination. Krishna Ink supplies sheetfed and coldset offset inks, water-based and UV flexographic inks, and overprint varnishes for paper and packaging print applications.

Modern packaging conversion operates at breakneck speeds where ink must dry cleanly without set-off onto adjacent sheets or rollers. Our packaging inks feature tailored resin matrices that set instantly upon substrate contact, preventing smudging through die-cutters, gluers, and high-speed folding machinery.

For corrugated cardboard, duplex cartons, kraft shopping bags, and flexible barrier films, our water-based flexographic and offset inks offer low foaming, sharp barcode reproduction, and compliance with modern packaging requirements.

Application Sector 05

Offset Printing Industry

Offset printing is used for high-quality, high-volume commercial print production. Krishna Ink supplies process colour and spot colour offset inks for sheetfed offset presses, UV-curable offset inks for premium applications, and ink modifiers including tack reducers and varnishes. Our offset inks are designed for consistent printability and reliable colour reproduction.

Maintaining an unyielding ink-water balance is paramount for flawless offset press efficiency. Our offset formulations utilize finely micronized pigment concentrates and tailored alkyd resin vehicles that resist emulsification breakdown, ensuring sharp dot reproduction, zero scumming, and minimal dampening water contamination over extended shift runs.

Commercial printers count on our rapid oxidative setting to eliminate post-press bottleneck delays, enabling faster turnaround for multi-color catalogs, annual reports, labels, and pharmaceutical cartons.

Application Sector 06

Industrial Coating & Surface Finishing

Industrial surface finishing applications use solvents, adhesion promoters, anti-blocking agents, and protective coatings. Krishna Ink supplies industrial-grade solvents including ethyl acetate, IPA, n-butyl acetate, and MEK, along with functional additives including adhesion promoters and overprint varnishes for surface treatment and protective coating applications.

We cater to manufacturing facilities that demand ultra-pure, tightly fractionated solvents for metal degreasing, solvent-borne lacquering, and anilox ultrasonic wash stations. Controlled evaporation curves prevent moisture blushing and surface cratering during accelerated hot-air oven drying.

Our protective overprint lacquers and functional sealants impart chemical durability, UV resistance, and tactile barrier defense across automotive dashboards, architectural aluminum extrusions, and heavy-duty industrial machinery identification plates.
