Resistance tests for inks

Abstract

Essentially, a printing ink is nomore than a means of transferring a colour pigment onto a substrate. Having got it there quickly and efficiently — not always the easiest of tasks — the ink system must ensure that it remainthere under whatever conditions the end‐use requirements of the print demands. Sometimes these demands can be very stringent, and have necssitated a range of tests for resistance properties to be established by inkmakers, many of which have applications that are independent of the printing process.
