Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of environmentally friendly fountain solutions for wet offset printing processes based on oxidative drying inks. In particular, the invention related to the field of wet offset printing processes for producing security features on security documents. The present invention provides a process for producing a security feature by a wet offset printing process, said process being carried out by using a fountain solution comprising one or more manganese (II) salts of a C1-C3 carboxylic acid as well as the fountain solution and its concentrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field oxidative drying inks suitable for offset, letterpress and intaglio printing. In particular, it relates to oxidative drying inks for printing by an offset process, letterpress process or intaglio process on a non-porous substrate selected from the group consisting of polymer materials, composite materials, metals or metalized materials and combinations thereof, said oxidative drying ink comprising at least one oxidative drying varnish and one or more neutral manganese complex compounds.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solvent-borne or UV-curable fugitive ink composition for application to a substrate that is to be provided with indicia. The ink composition comprises at least one halochromic compound and at least one filler compound and is capable of preventing indicia formed with a heat sensitive erasable ink on an area of the substrate carrying the fugitive ink composition and thereafter subjected to a thermal treatment from becoming invisible to an unaided eye.
