Lithographic process inks

Abstract

As presses become more sophisticated, the more compatible the inks that feed them must become and this is reflected in the changing attitude that printers have adopted to process inks in recent years. The market now looks upon process inks as a ‘commodity’ item which can be put on the press to run consistently and efficiently without any attention. Like oil in an internal combustion engine, process inks have become an integral part of the machinery and are an important factor in a printer's ability to achieve high efficiency.
