Speedex™ Extender Vehicle/Transparent Ink

Speedex Extender is a unique sheetfed offset printing ink/transparent extender with the performance specifications that printers really need. 


Speedex features:


• The ability to be used right out of the can.

• Extremely fast initial setting.

• Jobs printed with Speedex on paper can be handled 5 minutes after         impression.

• Speedex develops good cure in less than 12 hours.

• Speedex can stay “open” on press overnight, even on copper rollers.

• Speedex will not “skin” in the can for days. 

        • Speedex uses a drier-free setting mechanism.

• Speedex’s cure rate and hardness can be greatly enhanced with driers.

• Speedex has approximately 20% VOC content.


Use Speedex wherever there is commercial printing on paper substrates. Speedex works well on a wide variety of stocks including quality offset stocks, and coated stocks of virtually all basis weights. Since Speedex is a true oil-based litho ink, it has a great deal of compatibility with many graphic arts chemicals. Ink conditioners and gel reducers will all work well with Speedex inks. Speedex contains high-melt polyethylene wax and a trace amount of PTFE wax. This means that, with the proper precautions, Speedex can be used with inline coating and overprinting right out of the can. Consult the Speedex pamphlet for more details.
