DEF

The creative art of taking books with blank pages and adding photos, memorabilia, journaling, and embellishments.

CONT

One of the key components of modern scrapbooking is the archival quality of supplies. Designed to preserve photographs and journaling in their original state, materials encouraged by most serious scrapbookers are of a higher quality than those of many typical photo albums commercially available. Scrappers insist on acid-free, lignin-free papers, stamp ink, and embossing powder, and pigment-based inks, which are fade-resistant, colorfast, and often waterproof.

Record 7 2005-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Inks and Colour Reproduction (Graphic Arts)
  • Flexography (Printing)
CONT

The basis of a water-based flexo ink is usually pigment dispersed in acrylic resin solution, stabilized with an amine. The pigment is normally a crystalline organic powder, ground to an extremely fine dispersion using a bead-mill. The fine particle size gives the printer improved color strength and prevents clogging of the anilox. For white ink, titanium dioxide pigment is used. And for black ink, carbon black powder is used... The dispersion of pigment in solution acrylic resin is mixed with acrylic emulsions and additives. The blend of acrylic emulsions has a great influence on properties observed in the final ink, such as gloss, drying speed, rub resistance and water resistance. The amine is an important part of a water-based formulation as it affects the stability of the resin...

CONT

Sun Chemical’s Advantage is a water-based flexographic ink formulated for pH stability during long press runs of mid to mid-high level corrugated and paper bag products.
