Filtration Solutions for Graphic Arts & Ink Systems
In graphic arts, even fine contaminants can impact colour consistency, print clarity, and system performance. AFS helps maintain clean ink systems and reliable output through tailored filtration and technical support.
Why Filtration Matters in Ink & Print Applications
Ink systems require precise control over contamination to ensure:
- Consistent colour quality
- Smooth application and flow
- Reliable printing performance
Contaminants such as particles, air bubbles, and formulation inconsistencies can lead to:
- Print defects
- Blocked nozzles and equipment issues
- Inconsistent output
Effective filtration ensures stable processes and high-quality results.
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
01
Ink Formulation Filtration
Ensuring Clean, Stable Ink Production
Filtration removes:
- Fine particles
- Contaminants from raw materials
- Undissolved solids
Helping maintain consistent formulation and colour integrity.
02
Ink Degassing
Removing Air for Smooth Performance
Air entrainment can cause:
- Inconsistent flow
- Print defects
- System instability
03
On-Press / On-Board Filtration
Protecting Print Systems
Filtration within printing systems:
- Prevents nozzle blockages
- Reduces downtime
- Maintains consistent output
04
System Cleanliness
Maintaining Process Reliability
Clean systems ensure:
- Reduced maintenance
- Stable operation
- Longer equipment life
The Challenge
Graphic arts and ink systems are sensitive to even small contaminants:
Particles affecting print quality
Air bubbles disrupting flow
Inconsistent formulations impacting colour
Equipment blockages and downtime
These issues lead to waste, inefficiency, and reduced output quality.
