Blaming it on the inks

By Florie Lyn Masarate

When prints do not turn out fine, the first things that people blame them into are the inks that they use. They are under the impression that inks are one of the most common factors that affect the output of printing materials. This is most especially seen in the color printings and graphic designs. Not getting the right kind of colors into printed materials would be charged on inks.

It is a known fact that inks sometimes encounter problems especially during the course of printing. What people are not aware of, however, is that there are also considerations and things to know about inks before and when using them. People are just prone to make justifications to explain not knowing these factors. There are things that they want to believe and things that they do not know.

People believed that inks that are straight from the container are ready to use. So just put them into their place in the printer and they will get the job done. What they do not know is that brand new inks needed stirring. During the time that the inks are packed and shipped out, they may have stilled in a certain place in the container and may solidify. Stirring them would have prevented the trouble and expense of replacing them without having used them in the first place.

Some think that they already know the inks they are using; therefore they should not read more about technical data and information about it. What they do not know is that some inks needed special processes and respected environments to produce the right prints. it is important that people should have technical knowledge about the equipments that they are using to avoid and be able to do something when encountering problems in the course of printing.

People always say they do not have time to learn new procedures and techniques which could have been essential in the printing process. Not knowing about these things would make them unable to solve the problems that they will encounter in the ink usage process.

Thinking that they do not need to run cure tests to check for adequate cures in the problems with printing and inks. When they are asked about what they have done to check for possible problems and the solutions that can be done, they would not know what to say. Some do not even know about cure tests.

Sometimes it is not always the ink’s fault that problems are encountered in printing. Oftentimes, there are other factors that contribute and are the prime reason for all these. People should know by now that it is not only the ink at fault.
