Ink tack stability readings of the offset thermochromic inks
Pigment and Resin Technology, 2019 PurposeThis paper aims to analyse the tack stability measurement readings of thermochromic offset inks. For this purpose, three reversible leuco-dye formed thermochromic inks were used to evaluate their tack. The used inks differ in their activation temperature, colour, drying mechanism, viscosity and chemical content.
