Where our inks run

The ink follows the application

An ink is only right in context. The same pigment behaves differently on kraft liner and on clear film; the same coating gives 90 gloss units on coated board and half that on a porous stock; the same photoinitiator that is fine on a shipping carton is not acceptable on a yoghurt lid.

These pages group our ranges by the job rather than by the chemistry, so you can start from the pack you are printing and work back to the product. Every page lists the recommended ranges and what that market demands of them.
