PRINTING METHOD AND ENERGY-CURABLE NEWS INK CONTAINING SOY OIL DERIVATIVES

摘要

An energy curable ink composition comprising an acrylate-functional derivative of a natural oil such as soybean oil and one or more further acrylate-functional materials is suitable for printing on a cold-set lithographic press and is cured by exposure to an actinic radiation source located on the press. The press can be used to print coldest ink on an absorbent web and energy curable ink on a nonabsorbent or semi-absorbent web.
