Abstract

A method has been discovered which permits forecasting or selecting a printing composition that will display a reduced degree of misting under high speed offset WO2010/126981 PCT/US2010/032727 printing conditions. It involves selecting three or more temperatures which substantially cover the anticipated range of printing operation temperatures, conducting rheological testing at those temperatures to determining the value of the rheological parameters viscous modulus, phase angle and slope of phase angletemperature line, and selecting or formulating a composition having a combination of phase angle, viscous modulus, and phase-angle slope which reflect that the viscoelastic properties will not substantially degrade over the range of printing temperatures. A printing ink or coating composition that has these characteristics will exhibit reduced misting when used in high speed printing apparatus. The invention will be better understood by those of skill in this art from the following detailed description and drawings.
