With higher press speeds, lower paper quality through recycling and evolution of supports, optimizing ink formulations is constantly required. But with more than 30 properties to balance to fulfill needs at all stages of the off-set printing process, developing high quality off-set inks is everything but easy.

Join this course and benefit from Jack Baarends' 40+ year expertise in developing such systems. You will learn in particular to:

Adjust rheology for high speed printing presses

Balance properties in contradiction

Better predict performance on press

Troubleshoot issues commonly encountered in off-set printing

You will come away with a much deeper knowledge and understanding of how to successfully make and use offset inks, avoiding hours spent on trials and errors.
