Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ink composition and a respective varnish, suitable for use in heatset printing, in particular heatset web offset printing, which is suited to avoid fluting during the printing process. The ink composition comprises at least one solvent having a boiling point of from 200° C. to 240° C. which is present in an amount suited to allow the ink composition to dry at a printed web temperature of from 40° C. to 60° C. during the printing process to avoid fluting.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a printed substrate comprising a substrate and a printing ink and is characterized in that at least one side of the substrate has a surface with such porosity that the Gurley-Hill air permeability value of the substrate is above 7000 s/100 ml, and it comprises an printing ink formulated as heat-set offset printing ink with reduced tack comprising at least one pigment and a mixture of at least two solvents boiling in the range of from 200° C. to 270° C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a printed substrate comprising a substrate and a printing ink and is characterized in that at least one side of the substrate has a surface with a porosity of below 0.07 ml/g determined by the mercury porosimetry method, and it comprises an printing ink formulated as heat-set offset printing ink with reduced tack comprising at least one pigment and a mixture of at least two solvents boiling in the range of from 200° C. to 270° C.
