Do you want scent in the ink or are you referring to Microencapsulated 'rub and sniff'?

Hello,

What print process? Do you want to scent the ink itself, or use a scented overprint varnish?

You can contact Schubert International (Germany). Their products are very good. We sell them in Portugal with good results.

Schubert used to- and still may- supply encapsulated fragrance overprint varnishes used on publication gravure in the States. The ink system was toluene based.

I concur- is a good product

hai i worked as researcher in textile industry and i have experience in printing scented ink on different types of fabrics and paper. Right now the only method that we used sucessfully that withstand our testing standards is screen printing method. we also tried digital printing but microencapsules in ink is so thick that damage our inkjet printer nozzles, we are still working on perfect type of ink for digital printing. so if u want to print anything with scented microencapsules you have two options either buy only scented microencapsules and then mix with any color or buy scented ink and use screen printing method or break u r printers nozzle using scented ink in printed. i suggest don't try digital printers unless some company give u gurantee that their ink is specially formulated for digital printers.

I know a few screen printing firms, but give them a call they have their fingers in many pies...I think Cadisch go back a long time.

Our company has experience with prining inks with scented microcapsules. We are the producer of microcapsules and we can produce for your need a lot of different fragrances.

There are different options for scented printing:
- you can put microcapsules in you varnish (but it has to be water based) or
- you can print with inks, which have microcapsules - for better effect we recommend screen print (dry offset is also possible, but with less effect) - in this case ink should be made by us.
