Optimized for Legacy Presses: Tailored specifically to handle the ink train mechanics of older-generation, slow-speed offset presses.
Good Gloss Finish: Despite its highly economical positioning, it dries to a pleasing, high-quality gloss that enhances the final printed piece.
Reliable Setting: Engineered with stable setting characteristics that ensure uniform ink film formation and predictable press behavior.
Standard Stocks: Ideally recommended for mid-tier (2nd and 3rd grade) coated and uncoated packaging boards, alongside uncoated offset paper.
Premium Grade Modification: If applied to premium coated stocks—such as art paper, art board, or bleached card—the ink must be handled with care. To ensure successful results and completely prevent first-impression set-off on these substrates, it is strongly recommended to blend in Spring Inks RRH Compound.
