摘要:
The present invention relates an improved silicone modified water-based emulsion used primarily for publication gravure ink. Publication gravure water-based ink produced with the new polymer exhibits superior paper holdout, smoother lay, and higher gloss on super calendered and uncoated paper substrates as compared to conventional water-based gravure inks.
摘要:
Printing inks comprising a pigment and an aqueous or non-aqueous solvent (or a mixture of such solvents) have reduced abrasiveness towards printing surfaces (e.g. gravure printing cylinders) by incorporation in the ink of an alkoxylated dibasic phosphate ester and at least one alkali metal salt of a dialkylsulfosuccinic ester.
摘要:
A printing ink composition having a high degree of rub-off resistance comprising (a) a dispersion of a pigment in a vehicle containing a C.sub.7 -C.sub.40 oil and (b) a polymer latex emulsified in said dispersion. When employed for printing at high speeds, an anti-misting compound such as tridecyl acid phosphate, phosphoric acid, glycerol, or propylene carbonate is preferentially added to the ink composition. Where cost is not of paramount concern, a polytetrafluoroethylene wax is preferentially added to the ink composition.
摘要:
Lithographic fountain solutions containing water, one or more nonionic surfactants having an HLB in the range of 1 to 8 and one or more hydrotropes to maintain the surfactant in solution without increasing the HLB of the fountain solution.
摘要:
The use of non aqueous dispersions NADs has enabled the development of fast setting sheet fed inks, for example. However either due to residual monomers or fractions of initiators, these NAD's have an objectionable odor. A chemical means of dramatically reducing the odor of the NAD's is thus presented. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, such a chemical treatment can include an amine/alkali mixture in a coupling solvent. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the coupling solvent can be one or more of an alcohol, glycol or glycol ether, such as, for example, isopropyl alcohol. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention the amine can be an alkyl amine, such as, for example, diethyl amine, or various other amines, whether alone or in combination. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the alkali can be one or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and ammonium hydroxide, whether alone or in any combination thereof.
摘要:
A fountain solution for offset lithographic printing ink includes water, one or more surfactants, and a dynamic surface tension of less than 30 dynes/cm. The fountain solution can further include an interfacial tension between the fountain solution and the offset lithographic printing ink of less than 10 dynes/cm. The press waste of a print run applying the fountain solution is reduced to less than 5%. An offset lithographic printing system includes a fountain solution and an offset lithographic printing ink, and the press waste of the offset lithographic printing system is less than 5%.
摘要:
A single fluid water-based offset lithographic news ink comprising water; a macromolecular resin binder comprised of a resin soluble in water regardless of the pH of the water, a rosin salt resin soluble in water at pH ranging from 7.5 to 10 and an aqueous emulsion polymer; pigment; a water dispersible soy bean based polymer; and a hydroxyethylehtylene urea re-wetting agent.
摘要:
An offset lithographic printing process comprising printing at a relative humidity of 75-90% utilizing a water-based, single fluid, fountain solution free, printing ink containing (a) a macromolecular binder composed of binders soluble in water regardless of the pH of the water; resin rosin salt binders soluble in water at a pH from 7.5 to 10; and aqueous emulsion binders; (b) pigment and; (c) a re-wetting agent.
摘要:
A printing ink useful for "waterless" printing processes comprising a water-in-oil microemulsion wherein the water phase is present in an amount of about 5 to 20 wt. %, based on the weight of the ink. The water phase contains about 0.5 to 3 wt. %, based on the weight of the ink, of a surfactant which will not lower the surface tension (as measured at ambient temperature) of the ink, but will preferably increase the surface tension of the ink by at least about 5%. The ink optionally contains about 0.05 to 0.5 wt. %, based on the weight of the ink, of a water-soluble polymer capable of producing a viscosity in the water phase of about 5 to 10 poise as measured at ambient temperature.
摘要:
A printing ink composition comprising:(a) a dispersion of about 10-25 wt. %, based on the weight of the composition, of a pigment in about 40-90 wt. %, based on the weight of the composition, of a C.sub.7 -C.sub.40 oil; and(b) about 0.1 to 5.0 wt. %, based on the weight of the composition, of a soap of a tall oil fatty acid.The printing ink composition has the unique capability of being utilized in lithographic printing processes utilizing tap water rather than aqueous fountain solution in the dampening system of the press.
