Synopsis

This book has been a long time in the making. Since its beginning the concept has been refined many times. This is a first attempt at a technical book for me and fortunately the goals I have set have been achieved. I have been involved in water based ink evaluation since its unclear begin­ nings in the early 1970s. This book is fashioned much like a loose-leaf binder I had put together for early reference and guidance. The format has worked for me over the years; I trust it will work for you. I would like to thank the many people who made this book possible, particularly Blackie Academic & Professional for their saint-like patience. Thanks again to W.B. Thiele (Thiele-Engdahl), to Lucille, my wife, and to James and Frank, my two boys. A final and special thank you to Richard Bach who taught me there are no limits.

About this title

Synopsis

Awareness of the harmful effects of solvents in inks has led to legislation requiring companies to remove them. This has resulted in an enormous research effort into developing the technology to produce inks with the same capability as before, but water-based rather than solvent-based. This book provides a working knowledge of the chemistry and technology of water based inks for chemists and engineers in the ink industry, its customers, and its raw material suppliers. This book should be of interest to chemists and engineers in the ink industry and its raw materials equipment suppliers; and high volume users of inks, eg printers, photocopier manufacturers etc.
