Offset inks are specialized inks used in the offset printing process, a popular method for producing high-quality printed materials. These inks are designed to transfer smoothly from a printing plate to a rubber blanket and then onto paper, ensuring sharp images and vibrant colors. They are typically oil-based or water-based, allowing for quick drying and excellent adhesion to various surfaces. The formulation of offset inks includes pigments, resins, and solvents, which work together to create a durable and consistent print. Commercial printers often choose offset inks for their ability to produce large volumes of prints efficiently while maintaining color accuracy and detail.
