Printing Inks-Other ink applications

Solvay precipitated calcium carbonates are also used in gravure applications where their fine particulate nature reduces any adverse effect on cylinder wear and also allows more flexible formulation changes during long runs.

In some UV ink applications the incorporation of the coated ultrafine products can have a positive effect on ink rheology without too adverse an effect on surface gloss. Developments are continuing to optimise products for this application.
