Why Should I Use
a Scale for Ink Modifications? Many production problems arise when making modifications to ink if additions of thinners are made by volume rather than weight. Colors within an ink range vary in weight per gallon resulting in additions of thinners/modifiers by volume having significantly different effect on each color. A digital scale should be used to properly weigh any additions made to ink. This is particularly important when weighing and adding very small percentages of thinners or catalysts to an ink. These modifications must be properly combined by weight if the ink is to perform consistently. |
