Nazdar's Conventional and UV-Curable

Screen Ink Simulations for the Pantone® Matching System

Product Information

Nazdar's simulations for the Pantone Matching System® are user-friendly systems that allow Nazdar customers to simulate any of the Pantone® Plus Series with the most popular conventional and ultra violet curable inks.

Nazdar's screen printed color reproductions of the Pantone® Color Formula Guide are simulations of the original offset produced colors. While other screen printing ink manufacturers offer various formula guides for simulating Pantone® colors, Nazdar's method of color reproduction has proven to be more consistently accurate.

Benefits of Nazdar's PMS Formulas

Nazdar formulas are unique for two reasons:

• Most formulas are computer matched with the latest X-Rite® ink formulation software under stringent quality control measures to ensure the most accurate simulations possible.
• Higher pigment concentration means more opacity or color density, allowing stronger color possibilities, easier matching and reproduction of the Pantone® shades tailored for the screen printing market.

Higher pigment (greater density) base colors allow easy color adjustment from increasing the color depth to decreasing color value without significantly affecting the color formula.

Because the Nazdar base matching colors contain higher densities, the screen ink simulations for the Pantone Matching System® provide much more versatility in color control. This makes it easier to match colors on a variety of substrates with varying ink deposits caused by mesh, squeegee, print mechanics, etc.

Base Colors

Nazdar's screen ink simulations for the Pantone Matching System® consists of high intensity base component colors including:

Screen Inks Color Matching Recommendations

All color formulas in the Nazdar formula guides use deposit consistencies resulting from controlled print conditions including squeegee, mesh (conventional ink: 260 monofilament, UV ink

Variables inherent to screen printing often require color adjustment in duplication of the proper color shade or density:

• Color too dark - reduce density by adding Mixing Clear until the proper color is achieved.
• Color too light - reduce the amount of Mixing Clear in the formula until the proper color is achieved.

Since all colors vary significantly in weight, the use of an accurate scale is required for reliable color matching. Scales are available that will weigh in ounces or parts of ounces up to a maximum of one quart range. There are also scales that will measure from ounces to fifty pounds or more.

The use of a knife (spatula) for transferring small amounts of ink from one container to another is much more effective and accurate than pouring or dipping. These knives are available in a variety of sizes, allowing you to mix quantities ranging from a few ounces to five gallons. Wax-free containers ranging from disposable cups to 6-12 ounce plastic containers with lids are recommended for mixing small amounts of color. Power or mechanical mixing is recommended for good reproducable color matching.

Technical Assistance

All color matching formulas included in the Pantone® Color Formula Guide are available in Nazdar's color simulation formula guides for the Pantone Matching System® for conventional and UV inks.

Halftone & Color Process Screen Printing

Halftone Printing

Halftone images are commonly printed as single color, two color duotone and full four color process color printing. Process color printing is a method to reproduce full color images through the use of four colors, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black with halftone dot patterns. All process color images are printed as some form of a halftone.

Halftone Inks

Screen Printing halftone inks are different from the standard screen printing ink colors. There are three characteristics that distinguish halftone inks; color, density, and viscosity. These characteristics will typically apply to each type of ink system: water-based, solvent-based, and UV curing.

Color

Nazdar has been manufacturing halftone inks over the course of several generations of halftone color specifications. Therefore not all Nazdar halftone screen printing inks are made to meet the same printing specifications. Depending upon the market requirements, there will be Nazdar halftone inks that meet ISO 12647-2 specifications for G7 printing, and there are halftone inks that are designed to meet SWOP proofing specifications.

Density

The ability of a transparent ink to absorb specific wavelengths of reflected light is called density and is measured with a densitometer. The measurement of density of a process color ink is considered an excellent way to measure and control actual ink deposit.

Most Nazdar Screen Inks are made in a standard density set that will result in commercial graphic arts density values on the intended substrate for that specific ink series.

Most Nazdar ink series will also have a dense set of halftone inks which are intended to give a printer the flexibility to adjust the density of an ink for various substrates and ink deposit levels.

Viscosity

Halftones are specified by LPI or line per inch of dots. Common LPI counts for screen printing can range from 35 LPI to 150 LPI. This wide variation of halftone LPI count requires a very different performance level from the inks. Generally speaking, the lower LPI counts use a thicker or heavier viscosity ink, while LPI counts above 85 LPI require a less viscous ink that will flow out more and facilitate higher printing speeds.

• Nazdar halftone inks are built in three different viscosity levels:
• HT designated inks are heavy body inks for low LPI counts.
• MTR medium tack rheology inks are for mid LPI counts of 55 - 85 LPI.
• LTR low tack rheology inks are for high LPI counts of 85 LPI and higher.

T7 Halftone Inks: are designed to print to the targeted values of the seven colors (CMYK & RGB) as stated in ISO 12647-2 specification for process color reproduction. These inks can meet the ISO targeted numbers and achieve a neutral 100x3 black when printed on a substrate with a white value similar to a #1 Grade Coated Paper. Best results are achieved when printing these inks at the following solid ink density values and printing sequence:

Estimating Screen Ink Coverage & Costs

Technical information provided for Nazdar Inks always references ink coverage within a range of expected results, such as 2,700 to 3,500 square feet per gallon. This wide range considers all the variables a particular ink series may experience when printed using various applications, mesh, equipment, substrate, and ink viscosity.

If your facility prints using three or four different ink/substrate combinations, these coverage figures are too broad for you to accurately determine ink coverage and cost.

To more accurately estimate ink coverage, cost and quantity required for a given job, Nazdar offers the following formula:

1. Weigh the ink in the container after it has been mixed and thinned, just prior to printing. Record this weight.
   • 1 Quart of 1652 Super Opaque Black = 4168.5 grams per gallon
   
   
2. Print one sq. ft. (12˝ x 12˝ or some division of this) of solid ink coverage onto the substrate most often used for this particular ink. Use the ideal press set-up to achieve the most even ink deposit. The more sheets printed, the more accurate the results. In this example, 122 sheets were printed. Return as much of the ink as possible back into the container and weigh the container. Subtract this weight from the first weight to yield the weight of the ink used to print 122 sheets.
   • 122 square feet coverage of 1652 on gloss Quintessence 80# cover stock used 136 grams of ink 4168.5 grams per gallon ÷ 136 grams ink used = 30.7 x 122 square feet = 3745.4 sq. ft. gallon of 1652 on Gloss Coated Quintessence Paper using 380.34 mesh with a 70/90/70 durometer at 24 n/cm.
   
   Divide the cost of one gallon of this ink by the coverage figure in order to achieve the actual cost per square foot of this particular ink on this particular stock.
   • $130.00 per gallon ÷ 3745.4 sq. ft. gallon = .029 or $ .029 per square foot.
   
   
3. To put these figures into action, estimate the amount of 1652 ink required and the cost to produce 5,000 posters where the actual print area is 14˝ x 22˝ on a 20˝ x 26˝ poster. Since the print area is not solid, you may "eyeball" the artwork to guess the approximate coverage of ink as a percentage. This is also common for halftone and process color images.
   • 14" x 22" = 308 square inches x 60% coverage (an estimate) = 185 square inches ink
   • 185 sq. inches ÷ 144 (12" x 12") = 1.28 square feet of ink
   • 1.28 square feet of ink x 5,000 sheets = 6,400 square feet total ink coverage
   • 6,400 square feet ÷ 3745.4 square feet per gallon = 1.71 gallons of 1652
   • Total ink cost without waste is 1.71 x $107.70 = $184.17

Many of these calculations have been included as part of Nazdar's ColorStar® software program, enabling printers to quickly and easily determine costs and coverages on any particular job. See page 57 for more information about the many time - and money - saving benefits of ColorStar.
