printcom inks: only selected after clear compatibility results. manroland conducts intensive tests to develop high-quality and process-compatible printing inks. Firstly, quality benchmarks are set and the inks are tested based on these. The best inks are subjected to long-term tests at customers where they must show what they are capable of under production conditions. This ensures that only printing inks that offer process stability and color fidelity are included in the printcom range.
