Abstract
SpeedyDry Ink Additive, a high-performance liquid ink additive, helps conventional oil-based inks dry faster and with more rub resistance on any substrate, from matte stocks and coated papers to synthetics, by increasing the solubility of its catalysts in the inks but causing no significant impact on print quality or ink properties. Use of SpeedyDry reduces or eliminates marking of sheets in postpress equipment and can eliminate the use of offset powder, depending on the stock and job, bypassing those costs. Quebecor World MIL Inc, Don Mills, ON, has used the additive for a year, mainly for matte and offset coverweight stocks and heavy solids. They have been very pleased with the results SpeedyDry has given them, states Rick Sherrard, director of manufacturing.
