Challenges in the ink industry
The production of printing inks requires precise formulations in which colour, viscosity and stability are carefully balanced. Pigments must be distributed homogeneously to achieve consistent colour and print quality. At the same time, printing inks must be suitable for different printing processes, such as industrial printing and packaging processes.
During production and processing, process factors also play an important role. Raw materials must remain stable within the formulation, and unwanted particles can affect print quality. Manufacturers therefore look for materials that contribute to consistent properties, reliable processing and stable performance of printing inks in production and application.
Materials for ink formulations
Profiltra supplies materials used in ink formulations. For example, we supply different types of pigments that influence the colour and properties of printing inks, including organic pigments, inorganic pigments and fluorescent pigments. Carbon black is also used in applications where colour and material properties are important.
In addition, Profiltra supplies functional fillers such as diatomite and cellulose fibers that can contribute to the properties of formulations. In certain production processes, filtration can be applied to purify liquids and remove unwanted particles. With these materials, Profiltra supports manufacturers in selecting solutions for their ink production.
Materials for consistent colour and reliable print quality
In the production of printing inks, raw materials play an important role in colour, stability and processability. Pigments not only determine the colour of the ink, but also influence properties that are important for consistent print results. During production, control is also important to remove unwanted particles that may affect the quality of the finished product.
Profiltra supplies materials used in these processes, such as pigments, functional fillers and filtration materials. By carefully selecting these materials, ink manufacturers can develop formulations that contribute to consistent colour, stable processing and reliable performance in printing applications.
