The Printing Ink Manual: 4th Edition

By Robert H. Leach

Book Overview

The Printing Ink Manual was first published in 1961 under the auspices of the Society of British Printing Ink Manufacturers with the object of providing an authoritative work on printing ink technology. This, the fourth edition, continues that purpose and presents a comprehensive study of the current 'state of the art' in the ink industry. For those starting in the printing ink industry it is a textbook dealing with all aspects of the formulation and manufacture of printing ink. For the ink technician it is a practical manual and useful source of reference. For printers and users of printed material the manual supplies helpful information on the nature and behaviour of ink both on the printing press and as the finished print. Readers with a little scientific knowledge will have no difficulty in using the manual, but as in previous editions, sufficient chemistry and physics have been introduced to assist the advanced technician and research scientist.

Comprehensive

A thorough, comprehensive coverage of ink you cannot get elsewhere. As someone new to the ink industry, it has been invaluable to me.

Print Ink Manual (for improvements)

It's a great book. Very informative. Next release should be colourful, with pictures, graphics, and may be with a formulation CD, DVD movies on the back cover, showing how you make it practically. (Hint:You can use some sponsored product suppliers for demo expenses while giving their product exposures, its a win win situation.) Thank you all.

The inkologist`s bible !

A broad yet relatively complete technical foray into the specialized domain of printing inks. For inkies I find this book is most useful to shore up on ink types you are not most familiar with. Not too technical. A must for those involved in formulating inks.
