Fundamentals of Printing - Putting a print in print (fixing white spots)
In the production process of printing packaging, fine art books, and various paper publications, color reduction and edge accuracy are the key factors determining the quality of the finished product. However, because the paper will undergo physical morphological changes (such as hygroscopic expansion, dry contraction) during the printing process, the ink cover of different colors is different, and....more

High Blackness, Excellent Hiding Power & Low Viscosity: Three Core Benchmarks for Premium Black Inks
Hiding power refers to an ink’s capacity to mask the substrate’s base color and surface defects. Even among black inks, performance varies drastically. When printed on aluminum foil, transparent film or dark paper, some blacks deliver sharp, opaque coverage with no show-through; others turn gray and translucent, requiring multiple overprints. Superior hiding power delivers solid jet black in a single coat, cutting ink consumption and enabling high-speed ...more
