PPI Ink
|
|
The original; the
one and only one of its kind, PPI Inks are neither rubber based,
nor oilbased, but dry by the exclusive "polymerization"
process. Chemically suspended in its wet state, until it reaches
paper, it will no skin over in the can nor dry on the press
(similar to a rubberbase ink); on paper it must revert to its
natural dry state, "polymerizing" (drying) faster than a
rubberbased ink that penetrates into paper, or, an oilbased ink
that oxidizes. In "polymerizing" it seals both coated
and uncoated papers, providing gloss, adhesion and rub resistance,
and a 20 50 25% strength increase, allowing a dramatic reduction
in ink needed, and thus a much reduced level of ink and water
balance. It is properly formulated for small and large presses,
conventional or integrated dampening systems, using e-stat,
silvermaster or metal plates. Pro-Line
PPI Inks are available from the largest "off the shelf"
selection of "stock" inks in North America! 89 colors,
plus of course, any special color.

Dry Ink
|
|
Pro-Dry Inks are
formulated using the polymerization" drying process of PPI
Inks, as well as the benefits of oxidation...for the optimum
drying on "harder to dry on" papers like bristol, tag
index and card stocks, as well as perfect drying on non porous
stocks like foil, polyester, vinyl, plastics, impregnated and man
made stocks like "Kimdura, Tyvek, Currency Cover".
However, unlike "Tufftex" and others made for non porous
substrates, Pro-Dry will not dry on the press while running, nor
over lunch hour, under normal conditions. The adhesion and drying
are superior to all others by virtue of polymerization! Pro
-Dry Inks (PDI) are available from the largest "off the
shelf" selection of "stock" inks in North America!
30 colors, plus of course, and special color.

Safe Ink

EarthSafe
Inks, with a "0", "1" "1" HMIS
rating ("0" for health hazard) bridge the gap between
"safe inks" and "quality printing". With 64%
(of non-solids) or 24% (of total weight) American grown and
processed soyoil. American made into ink, this unique ink is made
to dry as fast and as hard as conventional oilbased inks; without
compromise. All other soybased inks fail becuase they are not able
to form a solid, hard, dry film; only EarthSafe Inks have combied
technlogy and safety, with "near instant drying"! The
4-6% volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are far less than the 20
through 40$ that are present in conventional petrochemical offset
inks. The small press formula contains added ingredients for tack
and water resistance.
EarthSafe
Inks (ESI) are available from
the largest "off the shelf" selection of
"stock" inks in North America! in formulas for large or
smaller presses! 108 colors, plus of course, and special color.

Pro-Metal
Inks are made using a unique technology for encapsulating the
metallic powders, aluminum for silver inks and bronze powders for
gold inks, so as to prevent tarnishing. Thus these inks can be run
today, or up to six months down the road, without the tarnishing
effects. The encapsulating resin also provides a barrier to
prevent scuffing and scratching, but although far improved over
every other metallic ink, a varnish coat is still recommended for
any "handled" applications. Additionally, the resin
coating of the metallic pigments has a positive effect on the
nature and specific gravity of these inks, so that they can
perform on press much more like conventionally formulated
pigmented inks. The can be run free of piling or plugging, under
normal conditions. Pro-Metal
Inks (PMI) are available from
the largest "off the shelf" selection of
"stock" inks in North America! 80 colors, plus, of
course, and special color.

Varnishes

Pro-Coat
Overprint Varnishes are made to material specifications
developed in Europe, using the highest density resins available in
the natural drying range, with emphasis on drying speed, as well
as non yellowing. Since no one formula allowed for a varnish that
suited all needs, a range of varnishes was developed to meet each
application criteria. A chart was developed to assist the
selection of the right Pro-Coat Varnish for the job. A new
Pro-Coat Varnish has been added to the list, for those who wish to
address the environmental issue; the (ESI) EarthSafe Overprint
Varnish is made from soybean oils and achieves a unique
"whiteness" in all purpose formula. Pro-Coat
Overprint Varnishes (PCV) are
available from the largest "off the shelf" selection of
"stock" inks in North America! 10 choices.
