With a rise in worldwide interest in 3D printing technology from consumers, researchers, and industrial production, there is expected to be a high demand for 3D printing inks. Unlike 2D inks, which are intended for the fabrication of planar surfaces, 3D inks are intended for the fabrication of volumetric constructs and devices. In November 2021, Cubic Ink materials from ALTANA and DP Polar are revolutionizing industrial 3D inkjet printing. Multi-material capability for maximum productivity for a wide variety of printing materials is processed using the continuous Multi-material Jetting process. Water-based printing inks take a considerably large amount of time to be cured when compared with non-water-based printing inks. For the water-based printing inks printed on a surface, a certain temperature must be reached and held to completely dry the solvent used for printing. Though the printer can print the desired image quality and image onto a wide range of substrates, they cannot be done simultaneously, reducing the speed of the printer. This creates an obstacle to using water-based printing inks, thereby restraining the printing ink market growth. Many companies in the printing ink market are shifting from manufacturing petroleum-based printing inks to manufacturing environmentally friendly printing inks (green printing inks). Unlike petroleum-based printing inks, green printing inks do not contain heavy metals or other dangerous or toxic substances, so they do not cause excessive pollution in landfills. Green printing inks are based on sustainable materials such as soy and other plant-based origins, which are more sustainable than petroleum. Examples of green printing inks include water-based and oil-based printing inks. The use of green printing inks results in a reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during the printing process. Major players in the printing ink market such as DIC Corporation, Flint Group, Sakata Inx, and others are providing green printing inks as part of their offerings.
