THINK “BEST” Color-Logic / May 2011 The Color-Logic BEST Oset Silver Ink enables printers to overprint their process inks on top to create an extended color gamut of metallic colors. Because most CMYK process inks are transparent, the Color-Logic BEST Oset Silver Ink can shine through and create a diverse range of metallic colors! These metallic colors can be used as dividers for sections within a booklet, as text and key lines, as a background eect around an image so it pops o the page, or to create dramatic metallic gradients from one metallic hue to another. A key feature of our BEST Oset Silver Ink is that it prints at a very thin ink lm thickness (density) which allows for simpler control on press with impressive cost eectiveness when printing oods or other high coverage print jobs. Traditional silver inks look great, but as soon as you protect them with any type of coating they lose their luster ... Sound familiar? The BEST Oset Silver however, will retain it's luster after aqueous coating, UV varnishing and even lamination. This makes it an ideal all-round ink where a protective coating is required, and with excellent intercoat adhesion, this ink can also be used for blister pack applications and foil stamping!
