Whether it is for today’s ultra high-speed sheetfed presses, older presses, large or small format presses, web presses, AM or FM screening, Gans Ink has a 4 color process set that will improve the resolution you can achieve and increase your productivity.
You need to stand apart from your competition, let Gans Ink show you how our process inks will take you to a higher level!
Ultra Quick-Set Process Inks
RESOLUTION
Our fastest setting inkset to date, RESOLUTION process inks are much more than just a quick-set formulation! With RESOLUTION'S extremely fast set-speeds, printers state that the inks virtually dry-trap between units, even at the fastest production speeds; thus achieving the highest overprint trap values. Because RESOLUTION wet-traps so well, printers are able to reproduce a much larger color gamut than many competitor’s process inks will allow. Additionally, RESOLUTION exhibits a very glossy finish with almost no wet density dryback and is considered finishing friendly in every way.

Process Inks For Plastics
PLASTI-PRO
PLASTI-PRO process inks are specifically formulated for quick setting on non-porous substrates, such as vinyl and foil. In addition to faster set-speeds than traditional high-solid formulations, PLASTI-PRO exhibits excellent adhesion on a wide variety of non-porous substrates, provided they have a suitable surface Dyne level of at least 38. This series is considered finishing friendly, with limitations, so pre-testing is recommended. PLASTI-PRO can be inline aqueous coated with a coating suited to non-absorbent substrates. PLASTI-PRO is not recommended for lightweight synthetic substrates, such as Tyvek, nor for conventional paper, C1S cover or board stocks. For these substrates Gans standard Hard-Dry high solids inks are the correct choice.

Waterless DI Process Inks
SAHARA
SAHARA process inkset has been formulated for waterless DI presses. Demonstrators at Heidelberg have stated that SAHARA inks come up to color on press quicker than any competing waterless set. This series is heavily pigmented in order to lay down 10 to 15 points more density than other waterless inks at identical ink settings, yet maintains excellent transfer characteristics. SAHARA inks will resist toning on press under conditions that break down other waterless inks, a common problem with this type of printing. This series is considered finishing friendly in every way, including laser compatibility. SAHARA waterless inks come in multiple formulations to best match your ambient printing environment.

Web Offset Process Inks
SOYTECH ROTARY WEB
Gans SOYTECH rotary web process inks have been formulated for excellent transfer in the high speed rotary offset arena. Far from a simple forms ink, because of its exceptional transfer capacity SOYTECH will allow the web printer to achieve brighter colors, denser blacks and sharper screen tints with far less solid ink density. Our unique soy based vehicle will achieve a harder finish for better scuff resistance than conventional forms inks. This series is considered finishing friendly in every way, including laser compatibility.

FADE RESISTANT PROCESS INKS
For applications requiring prolonged exposure to light, such as packaging and labeling, Gans Ink has developed process ink formulations using pigments resistant to the fading effect of UV radiation.
Please note that process black and cyan are inherently fade-resistant, only the magenta and yellow will fade with time. Gans Ink’s fade resistant process inksets are formulated to wet trap inline, however, it is possible to purchase only the fade resistant magenta and yellow and run them with your standard house black and cyan in many instances.
Consult with your Gans Technical Representative to determine if this is possible in your specific application.

PRE-SYSTEMS LASER SAFE
Gans Pre-Systems inks have been formulated specifically for laser imaging post-processing. Certain substrates, such as dull coated papers, are often inhospitable to conventional inks, even inks that are otherwise safe for laser imaging. In some cases Gans Pre-Systems inks may perform better under less than ideal circumstances. Pre-testing is always required for guaranteed results.
