SPECIAL INK SERIES
FOR POSTER PRINTING.
The new generations of HIT process inks (HIT: HIGHLY IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY) from the
HUBER-GRUPPE are manufactured in optimized production processes. The special
constituents of the process inks are matched precisely to the individual stages in the manufacturing
process. The wetting medium and the finely controlled dispersion conditions have been
chosen so as to ensure that the ink pigments are coated completely and in a stable manner
with binder; the binder components selected specifically for these pigments actively support
this wetting process. Thanks to this fresh optimization of the "HIGHLY IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY"
process, the printing characteristics of the HIT process inks have been greatly
improved. The improvements in quality are to be found in areas such as the development of
color intensity, gloss, rub resistance, flow behavior, damping solution tolerance, stability at
high printing speeds and further processing.
The HIT technology guarantees a high level of production reliability and the best print results.
Poster printing is extremely critical to printing inks as regards fastness and, in particular, light-fastness.
In principle printing inks with a light-fastness of WS 6 or higher (according to DIN
16 525) should be used for such jobs.
With special colors it is necessary – as a result of limited pigment selection – to make concessions
as regard the desired color shade.
Special characteristics
Rapid attainment of stable ink/water balance.
Rapid setting, good stacking properties.
Rapid oxidative drying.
Good scuff resistance.
High or even very high light-fastness.
Fields of application
The two poster series have been developed for printing jobs where a high or very high degree
of light-fastness is important. They are suitable for all sheet-fed presses and damping systems,
and for all absorbent coated and uncoated substrates.
Additives
Use the following additives if it is necessary to adapt the poster ink to special printing
conditions:
• for sensitive substrates use Paste Reducer 10 T 9998,
• use MONSUN 10 S 7265 to accelerate oxidative drying.
