Sheet-fed Offset Inks

After re-examining potential materials, we developed ?TK Hy-Unity SOY?, a soy oil-based ink for use in sheet-fed offset printing, in an effort to improve printing productivity and quality as well as making ink more environmentally friendly. Soy oil makes ink much easier to use thanks to its emulsion stability and increased water tolerance and also improves the flow of ink in printing machines, thereby enabling stable printing and superior halftone reproduction.
Elsewhere, we have also improved the color rendering properties and transparency of ink using newly developed pigments as colorants, resulting in an extensive range of intermediate colors. From an environmental standpoint meanwhile, we have a range of products that both comply with NL (Negative List) regulations and meet Eco Mark certification standards on the grounds that they do not contain aromatic solvents.
