How to use:

Q1: What printing substrates can Flamingo offset ink be used on?

This ink boasts universal performance and is oriented to high-end printing. It works well on common printing stocks including coated art paper, offset paper, matte coated paper, white cardboard, white board and packaging cardboard. Widely applied to picture albums, color boxes, trademarks and posters, it requires no special adjustments for regular paper before printing.

Q2: Does this ink fit high-speed printing presses? Will it skin on the press?

It is fully compatible with medium and high-speed offset presses and runs stably at a printing speed of 10,000–18,000 impressions per hour. Formulated with anti-skinning additives, it features excellent on-press stability. No skinning or residue buildup occurs during long machine downtime, greatly reducing cleaning stops and improving printing efficiency.

Q3: Will high-concentration ink result in dark color and inaccurate hue?

No. This ink uses high-purity imported pigments with strong tinting power and pure hue, fully complying with the ISO2846 printing color standard. It produces saturated colors without grayness or color deviation, reproduces sharp dots and achieves uniform overprinting to accurately restore the colors of design drafts. Its high concentration also cuts ink dosage and lowers printing costs effectively.

Q4: How fast does the ink dry after printing? Will it cause offset or smudging?

This ink features stable drying performance. It achieves rapid surface drying and thorough curing under normal temperature, suitable for standard stacking thickness. No set-off, smudging or dragging marks will appear under standard temperature and humidity. A small amount of special drier can be added to speed up drying in low-temperature and high-humidity environments.

Q5: What gloss effect can this ink achieve? Is it suitable for high-end printing?

A: Built with a high-gloss resin system, it forms transparent, flat ink films with high gloss and delicate texture on finished prints, outperforming ordinary inks in grade. It fully meets the printing demands of high-end picture albums, premium packaging, brand color boxes and other high-quality printing applications.

Q6: Do I need extra blending before use? Can it be applied to presses directly?

It can be opened and used directly for standard printing without complicated blending. If minor performance adjustments are needed, add a small amount of varnish for better fluidity or reducer to cut viscosity. Avoid heavy dilution at will, otherwise gloss, color concentration and drying performance will be compromised.

Q7: How is the water-ink balance of this ink? Is plate scumming and dot blocking easy to occur?

The formula delivers outstanding stability and a wide water-ink balance window. Water control is simple during printing, with low risks of plate scumming, dot blocking and grease accumulation. It boasts great on-press adaptability; even novice operators can quickly stabilize printing parameters and reduce paper waste rates.

Q8: Is this ink eco-friendly? Does it emit unpleasant odors?

Low-VOC and low-odor with no irritating smell, this ink complies with industrial environmental production standards. Non-toxic and safe, it is applicable to all kinds of civilian packaging and book printing, creating a healthier workshop environment.

Q9: How to store the ink? What is its shelf life?

A: Store the sealed ink in a cool, dry and shaded place at room temperature, away from intense sunlight and freezing conditions. Unopened genuine ink has a shelf life of 36 months. Tighten the lid immediately after opening to effectively prevent skinning and oxidative deterioration.

Q10: Can custom spot colors and color matching be offered? Do you support small-batch trial printing?

A: Standard four-color inks are in stock for immediate delivery. We also provide custom spot color formulation and precise color matching services, with support for small-batch test printing to meet personalized, small-lot and mass printing demands of clients.
