1. Product Description
FORDIA Book Printing Sheet-fed Offset Ink is a conventional process ink series developed for books, textbooks, manuals, magazines, brochures and other publication work. It is designed for strong colour reproduction, sharp dot definition, stable ink-water balance, quick setting and dependable performance on coated and uncoated paper using modern straight and perfecting sheet-fed presses.
2. Key Benefits
- High colour strength and clean process shades for efficient ink-film application.
- Stable ink-water balance with good fountain-solution tolerance and low emulsification tendency.
- Quick setting and balanced oxidative drying for efficient work-and-turn and post-print handling.
- Sharp dots, controlled dot gain and consistent grey balance for text, line work and halftone reproduction.
- Controlled tack and smooth transfer for coated, matt-coated and uncoated book papers.
- Good rub resistance and dependable stack behaviour after full drying.
3. Recommended Applications

7. Press Recommendations
- Use the minimum fountain solution required to keep non-image areas clean; excessive water may slow setting and reduce colour strength.
- Maintain stable pressroom temperature and humidity. Condition paper and ink before printing.
- Mix ink thoroughly before use. Avoid uncontrolled addition of reducer, drier, anti-skin agent or varnish.
- Adjust tack and colour sequence to press speed, paper surface strength, perfecting conditions and image coverage.
- Before aqueous coating, lamination, foil stamping, laser printing or other finishing, verify complete drying and compatibility.
- Use clean, compatible conventional offset rollers and blankets. This product is not designed for UV/LED or web-offset curing systems.
8. Colour and Process Standards
Process shades may be formulated to target ISO 2846-1 colour characteristics, and production may be controlled according to ISO 12647-2. Compliance must be demonstrated using the actual ink, substrate, ink-film thickness, press conditions and measurement data. This TDS does not by itself constitute ISO certification.
9. Storage and Handling
- Store tightly closed in the original container at 5-30°C, away from heat, direct sunlight and ignition sources.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to air. Reseal partly used containers immediately and keep the ink surface clean.
- Prevent contamination with water, UV ink, cleaning solvent or incompatible auxiliaries.
- Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling. Use suitable gloves, eye protection and workplace controls.
