TINTIUM - Printing Inks

Tintium 5200 series is specially suitable for the printing industry and is suitable for inks used in Gravure, Flexo Printing and Screen Printing. These pigments afford the necessary viscosity that is essential for paste inks such as Offset inks and since they are absolutely fast to water, "toning" problems are avoided completely. Gel varnishes can be used to reduce the drying time which suits Web Offset printing.

Tintium 5200 series pigments are also used for making inks for printing on foils and metal substrates. Tintium 5200 pigments have a high degree of transparency yet maintaining its tinctorial strength. High gloss printing inks for packaging can be formulated with nitrocellulose medium. When used in packaging of food products, inks made with Tintium are bleed resistant to butter, oils, etc.

For Gravure inks which require more flow, Tintium 5200 series can be ideally used even in small quantities since these pigments have a tinctorial value. And additionally, there is no tendency to crystallize in the solvent medium. Though easy flowing, the ink once on the paper surface assumes thixotropy resulting in very sharp images. In flexo and Screen inks, the inherent stability of these pigments in the solvents make them the ideal choice.

Tintium 5200 is used in toner manufacture. It can be easily dispersed in the resins used to make photolithography.
