What is Offset Perfume Ink?
Offset perfume ink is a specialized aromatic printing material specifically formulated for offset lithography presses. This advanced technology incorporates microencapsulated fragrance oils that can be released through friction, creating a multi-sensory experience in printed materials.
Unlike conventional scented inks, offset perfume inks are engineered to withstand the unique demands of offset printing processes, including high-speed production, ink-water balance requirements, and various drying systems.
Fragrance oils are protected within microscopic capsules (10-50 microns) that break open when rubbed, releasing the scent without compromising print quality.
Specifically engineered for offset presses with optimal viscosity, tack, and drying properties that maintain fragrance integrity through the printing process.
Advanced encapsulation ensures scent longevity from 6 to 24 months, with proper sealing and UV protection extending fragrance life.
Primary Applications
Offset perfume ink transforms ordinary printed materials into memorable sensory experiences across multiple industries:
Technical Specifications
- Compatible with sheet-fed and web offset presses
- Maintains fragrance integrity at typical offset drying temperatures
- Excellent rub resistance when properly cured
- Minimal impact on ink-water balance
- Available in Pantone-matched colors with fragrance
- UV and aqueous coating compatible with proper testing
Printing Considerations
Offset perfume inks require specific handling for optimal results. Recommended printing sequence typically places perfume ink as the last down color to minimize press contamination. Proper curing is essential to lock capsules in place while maintaining fragrance viability.
Storage conditions significantly impact shelf life. Store at 15-25°C (59-77°F) in sealed containers away from direct sunlight. Optimal printing humidity is 50-60% RH to maintain proper ink viscosity and capsule integrity.
