Outperformulate your waterborne inks - Part I
Recorded Webinar: Inks are often produced from semi-finished to address the application complexity and reduce the final production step to a blending operation. Semi-finished must not only be intermixable and compatible but also stable over the time. In this mini webinar series, challenges and solutions are presented. The first part presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, will be related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.
