Abstract In order to gain UV gravure ink that has good performance and print quality, the study determined the prepolymer and the ratio of pigment and binder applied in the primary ink according to the study of ink dispersibility. In the ink preparation process, the effect of monomer and prepolymer on curing speed, adhesive force, and transfer performance of ink was studied; meanwhile, the effect of different kinds of photoinitiator on curing speed of ink was studied, and finally, we used formulation design principles to optimize the ink formulation. Study shows that the gravure ink has great dispersibility, relatively high curing speed, and good adhesion performance on plastic substrate, good ink transfer ability, and relatively high printing density.

Introduction
As one of the important package printing methods, gravure printing has huge market, but at present, most domestic gravure inks are solvent ink and water-based ink that contain a certain amount of alcohols; they all have large amount of VOC and pollute the environment badly, in a state of being governed [1]. Due to its environmentally friendly, energy saving, high efficiency, high quality, better adaptability, and so on, UV ink becomes one of the noteworthy environmental printing inks [2]. As one of the alternatives of gravure solvent printing ink, UV gravure printing ink can be widely used in cigarette package, wine package, cosmetics package, and other high-grade packaging and printing field, so it has a great prospect for development.
