Spectrophotometer improves the color quality and performance
Using a spectrophotometer to develop a color quality system is one simple way to ensure better ink performance. Many variables affect color perception and change the color and appearance of the ink. Spectral analysis measures even the smallest subtle color changes that the human eye can not detect. This reduces errors and guarantees color matching. Spectrophotometer can also record and store data as a reference, to ensure consistency between batches. From ink distribution equipment to internal ink lab systems, these data save valuable time and resources. The ability to quantify this information for repeated use minimizes errors and allows simple adjustments to improve performance and increase product yields.
Changes in lighting conditions also change color perception, resulting in inconsistent ink color formulations. The advanced spectrophotometer provides a separate light source to ensure accurate measurements. These measurements can be used to monitor various performance changes throughout the process and be aware of any possible contamination and can be changed if necessary. The determination of performance results and ink formulation changes can be adjusted and modified by effective color quality control.
Offset printing ink
Offset inks need to be used in a variety of industrial applications and vary according to the specific industry needs. From food production to chemical formulation, external variables often affect ink properties and appearance. Understanding these changes and how to monitor these variables is necessary to improve ink production and quality.
Monitoring color intensity relies on a spectrophotometer to compare the standardized colors. Bleach or tone testing applications use this technology to monitor pigmentation and ensure accurate color matching results. Due to the perceived changes in the human eye alone, this process is necessary to reduce the risk of error. High quality ink formulations rely on advanced spectrophotometer data to ensure repeatability and color quality.
The use of spectrophotometers in ink production laboratories is crucial for the development of high quality inks. Establishing an ink analysis system is not limited to laboratory ink facilities. Ink technicians, production operators, and final quality inspectors all benefit from using instrumental analysis. As materials and printing conditions continue to change, analysis and change are required iteratively in order to effectively use materials and maintain quality. Spectrophotometer is a versatile tool that provides simple and effective analysis at all stages of offset ink production and printing.
