Chemistry and Technology of Water Based Inks


Book Description

This book has been a long time in the making. Since its beginning the concept has been refined many times. This is a first attempt at a technical book for me and fortunately the goals I have set have been achieved. I have been involved in water based ink evaluation since its unclear begin nings in the early 1970s. This book is fashioned much like a loose-leaf binder I had put together for early reference and guidance. The format has worked for me over the years; I trust it will work for you. I would like to thank the many people who made this book possible, particularly Blackie Academic & Professional for their saint-like patience. Thanks again to W.B. Thiele (Thiele-Engdahl), to Lucille, my wife, and to James and Frank, my two boys. A final and special thank you to Richard Bach who taught me there are no limits.




The Chemistry Of Inkjet Inks


Book Description

Modern printing is based on digitizing information and then representing it on a substrate, such as paper, pixel by pixel. One of the most common methods of digital printing is through inkjet printers. The process of inkjet printing is very complicated, and the ink used must meet certain chemical and physicochemical requirements including those related to storage stability; jetting performance; color management; wetting; and adhesion on substrates. Obviously, these requirements — which represent different scientific disciplines such as colloid chemistry, chemical engineering, and physics — indicate the need for an interdisciplinary book that will cover all aspects of making and utilizing inkjet inks.This book provides basic and essential information on the important parameters which determine ink performance. It covers not only the conventional use of inkjet technology on graphic applications, but also the extension of this method to print various functional materials, such as the use of conductive inks to print light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and three-dimensional structures. Thus, the book will serve a large community: industrial chemists who deal with ink formulations and synthesis of chemicals for inks; chemical engineers and physicists who deal with the rheological and flow properties of inks; and researchers in academic institutes who seek to develop novel applications based on inkjet printing of new materials.




The Printing Ink Manual


Book Description

The first edition of the Printing Ink Manual was published by the Society of British Printing Ink Manufacturers in 1961 to fill the need for an authorative textbook on printing technology, which would serve both as a training manual and a reliable reference book for everyday use. The book soon became established as a standard source of information on printing inks and reached its fourth edition by 1988. This, the fifth edition, is being published only five years later, so rapid has been the development in technology. The objective of the Printing Ink Manual remains unchanged. It is a practical handbook designed for use by everyone engaged in the printing ink industry and the associated industries. It provides all the information required by the ink technical for the day-to-day formulation of printing inks. It supplies the factory manager with details of the latest equipment and manufacturing methods, including large-scale production, and gives guidance on achieving quality assessment and total quality management specifications. Care has been taken to maintain the value of the Manual for training both technical personnel and others who requiresome kn- ledge of inks. Readers with little scientific knowledge will not find dif- culty in using the Manual, but sufficient chemistry and physics have been included to provide an explanation of the underlying principles and theories governing the behaviour of inks for use by the advanced te- nologist. Suppliers of raw materials, substrate manufacturers, printers and print users will find the book a valuable source of information.




The Chemistry and Technology of Printing Inks


Book Description

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... A first-class grade of carbon black should always be used for blacks and lakes precipitated on very softgrained aluminum hydrate should be used for colors. An ink that separates out color or pigment to the very slightest extent should be avoided as the slightest piling on the plate makes a very bad looking job. The latitude allowed on flat-bed or rotary cylinder presses using electrotypes cannot be allowed in an ink for offset work. For tints in offset work and in fact for any colored work except black, a base consisting of equal parts of magnesium carbonate ground in a thin varnish to a stiff paste and a mixture of zinc white and aluminum hydrate also ground in varnish will be found not only a good reducer but also to give the necessary body and working qualities to the ink. SECTION TWO. DEFECTS OF INKS AND THEIR REMEDIES The usual difficulties met with in using typographic inks and their remedies are as follows: Working away from the ink rollers. Lack of distribution. Drying on the rollers. Offsetting. Flooding the type. Picking up. Fining the forms. Tinting the forms. Rubbing off after drying. Graining on the roller. Drying too fast. Not drying fast enough. Working away from the Ink Rollers in the Fountain. -- Frequently an ink will work away from the feed roller in the fountain and the result will be that the plate or forms do not get the proper amount of ink or the ink that is fed, is not evenly distributed over the form or plate and a poor print results. This is due primarily to a short ink and this condition may be caused either by the color mixing short or the use of too great an amount of short varnish. The remedy for both these conditions is to add a certain amount of varnish that has length. In cases, however, where the...

The Chemistry of Printing Inks and Their Electronics and Medical Applications


Book Description

This book focuses on the chemistry of inkjet printing inks, as well to special applications of these materials. As is well-documented, this issue has literallyexploded in the literature in particular in the patent literature. After an introductory section to the general aspects of the field, the types and uses of inkjet printing inks are summarized followed by an overview on the testing methods. Special compounds used as additives dyes, and pigments in inkjet printing inks are documented. The applications to the medical field – drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, bioprinting in particular – are detailed. The applications in the electronics industry are also documented such as flexible electronics, integrated circuits, liquid crystal displays, along a description of their special inks. The book incorporates many structures of the organic compounds used for inkjet printing inks as they may not be familiar to the polymer and organic chemists.
