    Default Iriodin

    Hi. Could you please suggest a good source of Iriodin (a pearlescent ink)? My printer in India would prefer me procuring the necessary amount (very small, about 2 kg).

    As far as I know Iriodin is not an ink, it is a pigment. Your ink supplier would contact the the source in order to get the pigment and formulate an ink for you that is based on that pigment and the effect you are trying to achieve,

    In the US the source is:
    EMD Chemicals Inc.
    Pigments division
    7 Skyline Drive
    Hawthorne
    New York 10532, USA

    phone 1 914 592 4660
    email effects@emdchemicals.com

    ASAIK Iriodin is a pigment, not an ink. And it's not only for pearlescent effects. Your ink supplier would contact them to get the pigment which they would then use to formulate an ink to achieve the effect you're after.

    In the US the pigment is available from
    EMD Chemicals Inc
    7 Skyline Drive
    Hawthorne, NY 10532

    phone 1914 592 4660

    Thanks! I do know that there are many different kinds of Iriodin, which is why I mentioned that I actually need a pearlescent one. Probably, Iriodin 123 (Bright Lustre Satin) or whichever one has the brightest and smoothest lustre (no glitter, no interference, etc.) of white or silvery color.

    Default Pearl Essence

    We manufacture Pearl Essence inks for in all forms. Sheetfed, Web, and UV are all available.

    I'm assuming that you are looking to purchase 2 KG as a finished product and not for the mixing of inks yourself, correct? If that is the case, we can hopefully meet you needs. You can contact Gans Ink & Supply and someone of our staff will be able to assist you.

    You need to know that the higher percentage of Pearl Essence and less vehicle, the more unstable the behavior of the ink can be. Examples are: Piling, Metering picking up ink, and over emulsification are just some symptoms.

    Hope this helps.
