Ink
Litho, Grauvre, Flexo, Screen, Intaglio, Letterpress and Digital inks are almost infinitely variable in their composition and in their behaviour on press.
Getting it wrong can be very expensive and not an option when short deadlines have to be met.
We offer spectrodensitometers to colour match with high levels of reliability and repeatability and a range of proofers for each of the different printing processes – primarily from the internationally respected market leader, IGT.
| C1 Offset | CX3 Offset | |
| F1 Flexo | G1 Gravure | Tack Tester |
| Orange Proofer | Orange Proofer X3 | Printability Tester |
We strongly recommend that you follow the manufacturer”s service advice, and only use the correct and recommended consumables. We only offer genuine IGT manufactured consumables to support the range of IGT Testing Equipment.
Ink and substrate compatibility is also critical, so we also offer range of testers – again primarily from IGT.
- for check for picking, scumming, wet on wet printing, ink tack, missing dots
- for digital inks – measuring contact angles dynamically during the printing process have proved very instructive and one of the few affordable ways of monitoring & comparing ink / substrate interactions – Dynamic Contact Angle Tester, PG-X and PG-3 Pocketgoniometer
- for monitoring inkjet print quality – scanner based systems such as the SpecPrint Anal;yser.
