On the other hand, water-based printing ink is being used in many fields from the viewpoint of safety and security of printed matter and reduction of global environmental load. However, some conventional printed matters don't have sufficient durability and suitability to wiping with alcohol. Therefore, in this paper, a new polyester ink which have enough resistance to rubbing 80% ethanol water have been developed to prevent infection from object to human effectively.
