The Printing Ink Manual

The first edition of the Printing Ink Manual was published by the Society of British
Printing Ink Manufacturers in 1961 to fill the need for an authorative textbook on printing
technology, which would serve both as a training manual and a reliable reference book
for everyday use. The book soon became established as a standard source of information
on printing inks and reached its fourth edition by 1988. This, the fifth edition, is being
published only five years later, so rapid has been the development in technology. The
objective of the Printing Ink Manual remains unchanged. It is a practical handbook
designed for use by everyone engaged in the printing ink industry and the associated
industries. It provides all the information required by the ink technical for the day-to-
day formulation of printing inks. It supplies the factory manager with details of the latest
equipment and manufacturing methods, including large-scale production, and gives
guidance on achieving quality assessment and total quality management specifications.
Care has been taken to maintain the value of the Manual for training both technical
personnel and others who requiresome kn- ledge of inks. Readers with little scientific
knowledge will not find dif- culty in using the Manual, but sufficient chemistry and physics
5th ed. 1999, XXII, 993 p. have been included to provide an explanation of the underlying principles and theories
governing the behaviour of inks for use by the advanced te- nologist. Suppliers of raw
materials, substrate manufacturers, printers and print users will find the book a valuable
Printed book source of information.
