Low Odor

The StarFire II Bases contain only severely hydrotreated ink oils. They have been formulated to produce low odor on the press, even when using infra-red lamps as a drying assist. The StarFire II Bases can be used to formulate low odor inks for napkins, tablecloths and other items

Fluorescent Color

The increased color strength from the StarFire II Base has not reduced the color brightness. In fact, an increase in color brightness and color stability is possible with the recommended formulations.

Press Performance

Sheetfed offset inks made from the STARFIRE II Bases have been run on high speed sheetfed presses at 9,000-12,000 impressions per hour and are capable of much higher press speeds with excellent performance characteristics. Excellent tack stability, anti-emulsification properties, faster setting and excellent drying characteristics are to be expected from inks formulated from StarFire II Bases.

HIGHLIGHTS
