Marbling Inks

          One of the ancient techniques of Marbling ink Suminagashi or "floating ink" originated in Japan early on 12th century.
         Process of marbling is on liquid surface and with that floating inks are swirled into patterns. Then capture a design by laying a piece of fabric or paper down on top of the marbling ink to transfer the swirls to the fabric.

Overview of Marbling Inks

             Mostly European people like to print their greeting cards by marbling inks. The well-known method of marbling for them is “Turkish” marbling. It is prepared on the thick mucilage surface known as sizing in English.

Basically marbling inks are manufactured with the eco-friendly raw materials by reputed ink manufacturers. Rupa Inks is the social responsible organisation producing inks and coatings which is not polluting the environment. 

MARBLING INKS will create a stone-like appearance complicated curving designs. It looks like veined texture of marble. There are several marbling patterns that can be achieved with the use of rakes, combs, and other tools. To get a marbling effect ink can be used more liberally and let them dry. Then drop blender ink it will spread the dried ink and form a marbled appearance.

The art of marbling reach progressively and was used broadly in the printing and book-binding trades. Almost in every book published marbled papers become an essential part. MARBLING INKS is a unique printing ink to decorate your posters or birthday wishing card. It is used for endpapers and book covers.

MARBLING INKS is an effortless but valuable way to develop cards, photo mounts, gift tags etc. The materials such as cloth, wood, paper can be marbled with these inks. Marbling's a simple craft but the outcome can be stunning.

Roller Coating

                   

On the surface of an object coating is applied usually it is the substrate. By applying this coating it may be decorative, functional or both. It may differ completely covering the substrate or only cover parts of the substrate. Paper, fabric, film, foil, or sheet stock such as are substrates.

          

           Roller coating is a process when the substrate starts and ends the process wound up in a roll. The process includes 

• Forward Roller Coating  
• Reverse Roller Coating 

Features

• Coatings that mostly have dual uses of protecting the substrate and being decorative
• Coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such as adhesion, wet-ability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance
• Trouble free clean printing 
• Heat Resistance
• Very low solvent preservation and high bond strengths

Application

• Product label on many drinks bottles
• Printed circuit boards
• Coating for paper, film and foil packaging

              ROLLER COATING INKS are used in steel and paper industries which involves unique surfaces. And for their specific applications it will meet the performance by adding wear life and reduce maintenance.

             Mostly ROLLER COATING INKS improves appearance, adhesion, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the surface. The functionality of the coating must adhere to the substrate.

Metal Decoration Inks

Depending upon the material ink is chosen for metal decoration. Mostly printing will be not directly on the raw material. The ink is really being printed onto a coated metal.The following two categories for types of coatings used on metals. Thermoplastic coating - a coating that does not chemically react during "drying." It will with heat or redissolve it with a strong solvent. Thermoset coating - a coating that cures by a chemical reaction called polymerization and/or crosslinking. When a thermoset coating is properly cured, it is resistant to heat, will not remelt, and will generally have excellent solvent and scuff resistance.

Printing on hard and non-absorbent material like metal cans use offset printing method and it is classified into two types by their can structure ; Sheet Printing & Curved Surface Printing

Pad Printing Inks

The process of pad printing plays a vital role for industrial applications. It is known as tampon printing in Europe. In printing areas from 1970’s pad printing beat the market shares over stamping and screen printing. Since the features of pad printing differs compared to other methods. 

Using a bag of soft gelatin material off-set type of hand transfer printing was done to transfer the image. This seems to be the origin of pad printing 200 years back. Using mechanical pad printer watch faces has imprinted which was the first industrial application. Instead of gelatin came the RTV silicone with the development of silicon transfer pads. This has become an demanding method of imprinting on industrial products.

Features

• printing rough surfaces  and shapes
• printing difficult substrates at a sensible speed
• printing of fine exhaustive images
• offering the printer an enormous versatility
• high quality printing on irregular surfaces (such as in multi-cavity molds) 

Application 

• Electronic micro components, such as cables, connectors, IC chips, relays, etc.
• Industrial Buttons and Keys as found on calculators, telephones and computer keyboards
• Electrical Household Appliances such as iron, VCR, TV, coffee pots, telephones, etc.
• Large Industrial Appliance panels such as on dishwashers, washing machines and dryers
• Toys such as figurines, dolls, cars, infant bottles, pacifiers, rattles and night lights.
• Advertising Specialty Items like pens, lighters, key chains, clocks, watch faces
• Sporting Goods such as golf balls, baseballs, tennis rackets, footballs

     
         The benefit of PAD PRINTING INKS is unique when compared to other printing inks. Since they are not limited to flat or round surfaces such as screen printing. Pad printing inks used to decorate variety of printing substrates and suggest the manufacturer with the same. Some of the materials which use pad printing inks are: plastic, glass, metal, coated substrates, ceramics, silicones, pharmaceuticals, foods and more.                    

In general PAD PRINTING INKS solvent based. Before using it should be mixed with additives. After touching the pad printing ink it will dry within seconds. But it may take longer period of time for complete drying.

PAD PRINTING INKS  are prepared with the help of resins, pigments, and thinners. The resin system also known as the binder which forms the dried ink film. Several resin systems are used for pad printing inks. Pigments are used to isolate colorants in the resin system. Thinners adjust the pigment mixture to get the individuality of the printing ink.

Typically PAD PRINTING INKS  show a discrepancy by the number of its components. The diverse applications of Single and two component pad printing inks are:

1. Single component pad printer ink will stick on to solvent receptive substrates and does not want any hardener. Without trouble for cleaning it can run for many hours.
2. Two component pad printer ink need intense durability. In addition hardener is used on difficult substrates. The span time to run this pad printing ink is about 8 hours 

       The ideal purposes of pad printing inks is labeling and marking. It is also appropriate for printing on wood, coated surfaces, plastics, metals, leather, rubber, promotional items, household appliances, electronics industry and much more. It is known for good printability, high flexibility, and water resistivity.

Roto Gravure Inks

Rotogravure printing originated in the early nineteenth century. Rotogravure printing allowed the newspaper industry to reproduce photographs and art work on a mass scale on inexpensive newsprint paper.

The technology adopted by newspapers is more precisely called rotogravure. Unlike the letterpress, which uses raised or relief printing, rotogravure uses intaglio printing, in which metal is etched with recessed "cells" to hold the ink. The process was first used in art reproduction because of its high quality tonal gradation and color depth. From this process evolved photogravure—rotogravure printing where a plate is etched from a photographic image

Rotogravure printing is so consistent that color variations are rare, ink does not smear, and pages can be handled (and bundled for shipping) immediately. Newly equipped newspapers were able to print large pictorial sections that increased readership and advertising revenue. Rotogravure printing is characteristically used for long run, high quality printing producing a sharp, fine image. The rotogravure process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, and cardboard product packaging.

Features

•     Extremely stable
•    Excellent bond strength
•    High color depth
•     High gloss
•     Brilliant brightness
•     Excellent print ability
•     Skin friendly

Rotogravure Inks - Solvent Based, Water Based

    The solvent-laden air from the dryers is passed through either a solvent recovery system or solvent vapor incinerator. A typical recovery system uses beds of activated carbon to absorb the solvent. Saturated beds are regenerated by steam. The solvent laden steam is then condensed and the water and solvent separate by gravity. Greater than 95 percent of the ink solvents can be recovered using this process (Buonicore). The solvents can either be reused or destroyed by incineration.

Water based inks, especially used for packaging and product rotogravure, require a higher temperature and longer drier exposure time in order to drive off the water and lower vapor pressure constituents. As mentioned subsequent sections, Flexo and Rotogravure inks are very similar and the constituents are essentially the same. Again, a pollution control device may be needed.

The major unit operations in a rotogravure printing operation are

• Image preparation
• Cylinder preparation
• Printing
• Finishing

Applications                  

Typical rotogravure printed products include

• Food packaging
• Wall paper
• Wrapping paper
• Furniture laminates
• Paneling
• Greeting cards
• Magazine

Flexo Inks

Flexographic printing (short form - flexo printing) is a form of printing process process which utilizes a flexible relief Polymer or Rubber Blocks-plates. It is an updated method of letterpress printing which is utilized for printing process on most substrates such as Papers, metals, foils, plastics, metallic films, cellophane, and Boards. It is mainly used for printing on the non-Absorbent and Non porous surfaced substrates used for various varieties of industrial and food packaging applications (it is also mostly suitable for printing and coating huge areas of solid colours).

A flexographic print is made by creating a positive mirrored master of the required image as a 3D relief in a rubber or polymer material. Flexographic plates can be created with analog and digital plate making processes. The image areas are raised above the non image areas on the rubber or polymer plate. The ink is transferred from the ink roll which is partially immerged in the ink tank. 

Then it transfers to the anilox roll (or meter roll) whose texture holds a specific amount of ink since it's covered with thousands of small wells or cups that enable it to meter ink to the printing plate in a uniform thickness evenly and quickly (the number of cells per linear inch can vary according to the type of print job and the quality required).

To avoid getting a final product with a smudgy or lumpy look, it must be ensured that the amount of ink on the printing plate is not excessive. This is achieved by using a scraper, called a doctor blade. The doctor blade removes excess ink from the anilox roller before inking the printing plate. The substrate is finally sandwiched between the plate and the impression cylinder to transfer the image.

Flexographic Ink types

The flexo inks are of three types. They are SOLVENT BASED FLEXO PRINTING INKS Flexo Poly Inks Flexo Dye Based Paper Inks Flexo HDPE Woven Sacks Inks Flexo Untreated PP Inks Flexo Untreated HDPE Inks Flexo Solvent Based Non Woven Fabric Inks WATER BASED FLEXO PRINTING INKS Flexo Water Based Corrugated box inks Flexo Water Based Non woven Fabric Inks Flexo Water Based Thermal Paper Inks Flexo Water Based Paper Gloss Inks UV CURABLE FLEXO PRINTING INKS

Flexography Products

Flexo has an advantage over lithography in that it can use a wider range of inks, water based rather than oil based inks, and is good at printing on a variety of different materials like plastic, foil, acetate film, brown paper, and other materials used in packaging. Typical products printed using flexography include brown corrugated boxes, flexible packaging including retail and shopping bags, food and hygiene bags and sacks, milk and beverage cartons, flexible plastics, self adhesive labels, disposable cups and containers, envelopes and wallpaper. A number of newspapers now eschew the more common offset lithography process in favor of flexo. Flexographic inks, like those used in gravure and unlike those used in lithography, generally have a low viscosity. This enables faster drying and, as a result, faster production, which results in lower costs.
