​

The main difference with Web News Extender FFG in comparison to our Web News Extender MEGAGEL is that although it is a gel, it is considerably softer in body and does not develop a high-structure ink like standard Web News Extender MEGAGEL can. This is particularly advantageous if you are formulating for more modern higher-speed presses that use pressurized ink delivery systems from tanks or large tote bins.

Web News Extender FFG may be used with Soy Oil-based, Heatset, or Quickset flushed colors with good results.
