The present invention relates to the use of esterified tall oil rosin, esterified wood rosin, esterified gum rosin, and mixtures thereof to enhance water-based flexographic ink. The products and methods of the present invention result in enhanced image clarity and resolution; enhanced image clarity and resolution as a result of elimination of most press-side imperfections such as ghosting, inefficient ink transfer and bronzing; increased ink mileage up to three times that of conventional water-based inks; achievement of fine-line details; increased gloss properties on high hold-out liners; and increased color strength and density on most paper and paperboard substrates.
