Econ 30 Base Black is an economical black base for super-efficient manufacture of heatset web inks. Econ 30 is 30% of a blue toned, ultra-jet carbon pigment in an energy-efficient vehicle. Unlike most bases of this type, Econ 30 is not a heavy paste base. Rather, it is like "liquid carbon". Econ 30 can literally be poured into a batch, and mixes quite readily with even the heaviest gel vehicles. Also, Econ 30 is arguably the most cost-effective heatset ink base on the market today. Econ 30 is pumpable, and is easily packaged into tote bins and bulk bags.
Designed to offer an "economy alternative" to inkmakers faced with increasing competitive pressure to produce new, lower-cost heatset black inks, Econ 30 Base Black is a bargain. Nowhere else can you find as large a combination of product features at such a low price!
Econ 30 is a heatset base made with 30 percent of a proprietary blue-toned, glossy carbon black pigment in a heatset vehicle that actually costs less than many heatset varnishes. Econ 30 Base Black is made in large batches in a continuous process, further reducing the cost of manufacture. The grind quality of Econ 30 Base Black is excellent - the amount of energy that the product is subjected to in the course of manufacture ensures beyond the shadow of a doubt that no agglomerated particles can ever possibly make it through the pre-mix, milling, or filtration processes.
The energy imparted to Econ 30 Base Black also has another benefit: it helps 30% of carbon black seem like more. You'll soon discover that Econ 30 Base Black behaves more like bases having considerably greater than 30% carbon pigmentation, giving you an even greater economy boost.
