  • Publication number: 20180072899
    Abstract: An ink composition useful for digital offset printing applications includes a colorant and a high viscosity thickening agent. The ink is formulated to incorporate a gellant into the ink set to help meet the requirement of two different viscosity or temperature pairs at two different stages of the ink delivery process. In lithography imaging a bulk ink is first transferred onto an anilox roll and then onto the imaging cylinder blanket. The first transfer from bulk ink to anilox roll requires the ink to have a low viscosity while the transfer from roll to imaging blanket requires a high viscosity. The addition of the gellant will increase the viscosity difference within the allowable temperature range thus increasing process latitude and robustness.

  • Patent number: 9822267
    Abstract: An ink composition useful for digital offset printing applications includes a colorant and a high viscosity thickening agent. The ink is formulated to incorporate polyester viscosity modifier to help meet the requirement of two different viscosity or temperature pairs at two different stages of the process. In digital offset printing a bulk ink is first transferred onto an anilox roll, and then from the anilox roll onto the imaging cylinder blanket. During the bulk ink to anilox roll the disclosed ink has a low viscosity while the transfer from roll to imaging blanket the ink has a higher viscosity. The addition of the polyester viscosity modifier increases the viscosity difference within the allowable temperature range, thus, increasing process latitude and robustness.
