A Comparison Of The Deinkability Of Certain Printing Inks, Jacob Van Giessen

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Printing inks differ in their composition and in their ability to be removed from paper in the deinking process. I was the purpose of this research work to make a comparison of this deinkability, for common printing inks.

In this experimentation, five inks were compared. These were a linseed oil base ink, a mineral oil base ink, a moisture set ink, a alkyd base in and a rubber base ink. Deinking was done using a standard deinking formula and varying only the concentration of the deinking agent.

The results show a marked difference in concentrations of deinking agent necessary for …
