Printing
• Printing is a process of reproducing text and image, typically with ink on substrate using a printing press.
• Ink is the carrier of the graphics and visuals intended to be printed on a substrate.
• Both combined together is VISUAL COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Ensuring compliance on Printing InksConformation to international standard: With
world market merging together conformation to different international standards (CONEG, FDA, NL regulations of Japan, European Standard EN71/3) has become almost the basic requirement. These are basically to eliminate hazardous substance such as Cadmium and its Compounds, Cyanide Compounds, Organic phosphorous compounds, Lead and its compounds, Hexavalent Chromium Compounds, Arsenic and its compounds, Mercury and its compounds, PCB, Trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene.

Ink Kitchen
• On the basis of the operational excellence through Ink Management Systems Sakata has been able to consistently achieve deliverables that is directly resulting into benefits of the converters.
• These benefits can be outlined as:
. . .. . .SAKATA INXSAKATA INX Visual Communication Technology
Ink Kitchen: No wastage
• No wastage for shade matching on the machine due to variance in Ink colour shade.
• The first registered print is well within the approved LSD.
• Of course, we ensure no wastage of Ink due to wrong mixing.
. . .. . .SAKATA INXSAKATA INX Visual Communication Technology
Ink Kitchen: Minimum Shade matching Time
• To establish Stranger jobs, we provide our expertise of shade matching skill and assist in approval of the color shade.
• For Repeater jobs we ensure dE below 2 so that no correction is required on the machine.
. . .. . .SAKATA INXSAKATA INX Visual Communication Technology
Ink Kitchen: Consistency of colour shade
• We provide total required quantity of ink in the press ready form so there is no deviation of colour shade throughout the print run if all other parameters are maintained.
• On the press we need to maintain the viscosity through out the print run to ensure the consistent print run.
. . .. . .SAKATA INXSAKATA INX Visual Communication Technology
Ink Kitchen: Minimum Dilute Ink Stock
• We utilise the press return inks of one job effectively by converting it for another job and thereby ensure minimum dilute ink stock.
. . .. . .SAKATA INXSAKATA INX Visual Communication Technology
Ink Kitchen: Prompt Services
• Press Ready inks are supplied to printing press within two hrs of the Ink requirement ensuring no machine waiting for inks.
