Embodiment 1
[0036] Aqueous thermoset / indirect printing inks were prepared from the components shown below:
[0037] Table I
[0038] components
[0039] The fuma rosin resin is bound to the dry pigment in a 1:1 ratio. This resin-bound pigment makes up 25% of the ink formulation. The pigment-to-base ratio of the ink is 1:15.
Embodiment 2
[0041] The viscosity and stability of the ink in Example 1 were measured. Viscosity was measured using an ink viscometer (manufactured by Thwing Albert) operating at 90°F at a speed of 1200 rpm. A tack of 17-20 was observed. In addition, the ink was observed to be stable in the ink viscometer for 10 minutes.
Embodiment 3
[0043] The ink composition of Example 1 was used to prepare a cyan ink for four-color printing thermoset printing. Run at 1,000fpm on a Diddle web press and print onto 40# coated paper. No ink buildup was observed on the rollers, plates, or blanket cylinders. At a density of 1.33, the ink dries at a web exit temperature of 265°F. Therefore, this ink has the same good drying properties as oil-based inks.
