Chemistry and Technology of Water Based Inks

Awareness of the harmful effects of solvents in inks has led to legislation requiring companies to remove them. This has resulted in an enormous research effort into developing the technology to produce inks with the same capability as before, but water-based rather than solvent-based. This book provides a working knowledge of the chemistry and technology of water based inks for chemists and engineers in the ink industry, its customers, and its raw material suppliers. This book should be of interest to chemists and engineers in the ink industry and its raw materials equipment suppliers; and high volume users of inks, eg printers, photocopier manufacturers etc.
