About the Book

The Printing Ink Manual is the highly acclaimed, unique source of reference and instruction on the development, formulation, manufacture and testing of printing inks. This is the fourth edition published on behalf of The Society of British Printing Ink Manufacturers. It is completely updated and provides an excellent, comprehensive survey of the state of the art of printing ink manufacture today. It is an invaluable guide for all those involved in the printing ink industry worldwide, including technicians, students, ink makers and users of inks in the print, paper, graphics and the raw materials manufacturing industry. This highly respected reference book incorporates the many new technological developments that have occurred since the previous edition. There is, for example, an entire chapter on new inks that have recently been developed. Rigorous editorial quality control of the revisions was exercised by a board of industry professionals headed by Dr R.H. Leach. This ensured that the fourth edition reflects accurately modern trends and developments. The Manual's acclaimed value as the authoritative, practical source of reference for today's printing professional is irrefutable.
