ink and varnish manufacturing

A space for technical knowledge transfer where we share our vision on product development, the evolution of regulations and advances in printing chemistry from our perspective as ink manufacturers.

The UV ink revolution in offset

UV offset tints have been marked before and after the evolution of graphic printing. It is capable of curing the shape instantly through ultraviolet light and does not transform it during production times, but also the quality, resistance and versatility of the prints. In a more demanding sector, where the speed, the stability and the normative compliance of its keys, these tintas are consolidated as a solution of high performance.

Frequently asked
technical questions

We address common questions about the behaviour of our formulations on press and the specialised support we offer to optimise the performance of your production.

Yes. In our R&D&I department we create personalised formulations to resolve specific printing challenges. We work closely with our clients to adapt ink chemistry to their particular processes, guaranteeing optimised performance and exclusive results.

We are present in more than 60 countries, which allows us to offer a global vision and reliable supply in any market. We guarantee swift communication and provide all the technical and legal documentation necessary to ensure our solutions operate successfully in international environments.

We analyse the interaction between ink and substrate in our laboratory to ensure perfect adhesion. We develop specific additives and varnishes that improve drying and resistance on non-absorbent substrates or recycled materials, allowing high production speeds to be maintained without errors.

In our R&D&I and colorimetry laboratory we guarantee an exact match within 24 hours. As manufacturers, we not only match the colour, but also adjust the technical formulation based on the porosity and nature of the substrate you use, ensuring total stability on press.

Yes. We are specialists in manufacturing solutions for high-demand Sheetfed Offset. We develop formulas with high physicochemical stability that allow working at high printing speeds, maintaining an optimal ink-water balance in both conventional systems and UV and LED curing technologies.

We integrate the requirements of the German Ink Ordinance into our R&D to strictly comply with the Positive List of substances. We provide the traceability and Declarations of Conformity (DoC) required for the food packaging sector.

Absolutely. We understand that the excellence of our product is demonstrated on the sheet. Therefore, our technical team travels to provide in situ technical assistance, helping to optimise printing parameters, evaluate finishes and resolve any operational issue to ensure the profitability of your production process.

In our manufacturing process we prioritise the replacement of traditional components with renewable raw materials. We have eliminated mineral oils and cobalt salts from our formulas, focusing on developing solutions that reduce the carbon footprint and improve pressroom productivity through more efficient drying and reduced migration.
