Custom-made inks

Printing requirements can be the most diverse: color shades, type of substrate, physical-chemical resistance. Colorprint provides the customer with its experience and expertise to define the optimal formulation.

Customized formulations

When requirements are complex, identifying a product that fully meets all needs can be challenging due to the numerous factors involved. 

In some cases, it is impossible to find a market-ready product that satisfies every technical specification. 

Furthermore, defining the correct printing product requires specific expertise and experience in the world of printing and color management. In these instances, Colorprint is able to develop a custom formulation based on the customer’s specific requirements. Through a structured process, the optimal formulation is defined. Should a reprint with the same characteristics be required, Colorprint can quickly provide a new supply of printing ink by utilizing the original production recipe.

Development stages

Operational stages in custom color management

1) Definition of requirements

By completing a standardized form, the customer is guided in specifying all factors that influence the correct ink formulation, including the type of substrate, the intended application, and the necessary resistance properties.

2) Color Definition

The color to be reproduced can be defined through a Pantone® reference or directly via a physical sample.

3) Sample submission

Physical samples are essential as a benchmark for the final desired result. Furthermore, providing samples of the actual printing substrate is mandatory for conducting accurate print tests.

4) Formulation preparation

In the Colorprint laboratory, the formulation is developed and subjected to technical testing to verify both colorimetric accuracy and the required resistance levels.

5) Customer validation

A sample of the formulation is sent to the customer for testing within their own printing cycle to verify compliance with the initial specifications.

6) Revision

Should the initial samples require further refinement, the customer may request a revision of the formulation

7) Production

Once the formulation is approved, we proceed with the production of the required quantity and subsequent delivery. For any future reprints, the exact same formulation can be reproduced.
