Abstract In order to solve the low drying velocity problem of the water-based gravure ink, the temperature control microcapsule drying agent is prepared. The influence of the temperature control microcapsule drying agent on the drying characteristics of the ink is described in this chapter. The dispersibility of the temperature control microcapsule drying agent is tested in this chapter. The printing proofs which are made by the ink that contain temperature control microcapsule drying agent are tested, and the glossiness is also tested. Experimental results show that the temperature control microcapsule drying agent is able to enhance the drying velocity of the water-based gravure printing ink. The dispersibility of the temperature control microcapsule drying agent and the glossiness of the printing can meet the quality requirements. Keywords Water-based gravure ink agent Printability

Temperature control microcapsule drying
Introduction
Gravure ink mainly includes solvent-based ink and water-based ink. Solvent-based ink contains volatile organic compounds (VOC), which can cause environmental pollution, harm to health of the printer, and pollute the commodity in package [see 1]. Water-based ink has no VOC, can improve the working environment, eliminates the pollution of the packaging commodity by ink, which is an environment-friendly ink, but it has the problem of low drying velocity [2–5]. The past research on the water-based gravure ink drying property is R&D new rapid film forming resin and adding organic solvents (e.g., alcohol). These methods Y. Xu (&) T. Zhou X. Wei B.

cannot completely solve the problem of low drying velocity. The temperature control microcapsule drying agent prepared in the experiment can release the calcium oxide which can react with water and release heat to promote the drying velocity [6–10].

Sample Preparation
First, calcium oxide, water repellent compound, and alcohol are added into the beaker in a certain percentage, stirred for 30 min, and then left the mixture undisturbed for 60 min. Secondly, the surfactant is added into the mixture and stirred for 60 min. Thirdly, the mixture is placed in a drying oven
