Ink Formulation Software
X-Rite announced the availability of version 6 of its InkFormulation and ColorQuality software packages. Developed for ink manufacturers and printers that formulate their own inks, InkFormulation provides an accurate and consistent ink formulation, formula creation, storage, approval, and retrieval solution for offset, flexographic, gravure, and screen-printing inks. It can calculate the optimal recipe based on the printing process, ink, illumination, pigment pricing, and number of components and materials to be used. It also helps printers and ink suppliers speed up the ink formulation workflow process with reproducible results on a broad variety of substrates and ink film thicknesses.—www.xrite.com
