PRINTING INKS -- The Missing Ink

SFI single fluid ink technology, when perfected, should allow printers to achieve stable, dependable offset printing performance by removing the need to balance ink and water. Because there is no need for fountain solution, the inks eliminate ink/water problems, which the company reports account for nearly 70 percent of all printing problems. In testing, SFI ink has accepted an overprint of conventional custom color inks or finishing applications like UV and aqueous coatings and lamination.
