Standard Test Methods for Relative Tinting Strength of Paste-Type Printing Ink Dispersions

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Tinting strength is an essential property of printing ink dispersions. Although test results on wet drawdowns and tints do not guarantee equivalency of dry printed ink films, they provide useful parameters for quality assurance of established formulations, gauging relative degree of dispersion, and estimating the color value of colorants from different batches, sources, or grades.
