Van Son Litho ink Rubber Base. Cans 1 kg, 2.2 lb

Litho ink "Van Son Rubber Base Plus". Also applicable for block print.
Cans 1 kg , 2.2 lb

The Van Son Rubber Base Plus ink has always been the most used ink on "small offset". It is an economical ink because it can be used on the press for days, without wash-ups. It is not necessary anymore to clean the press every day. The ink will not dry in the pot. Traditional oil based inks will normally dry out on the press within a few hours. The drying of these rubber bae inks also depends upon the paper. Rubber base inks dry through "absorption". If a paper does not absorb ink very well (full-sized paper (internally+surface sized) or coated paper, this ink will never dry well. It is therefore adviable to use waterleaf paper (no sizing) or half sized paper (also known as engine sized, internally sized).
Traditional oil based inks dry by absorption and by oxidation or evaporation, and these inks can be used on coated paper.
For offset printers: A press-ready small offset press printing ink known for its easy working properties. Sets and dries very fast on uncoated papers making it the ideal ink for quick back-ups, cutting or folding. Economical because it produces more copies, stays open on the press and does not skin in the can. Rubber Base Plus runs extremely well on small to mid-sized presses with both integrated and conventional dampening systems. It is compatible with all plate systems especially metal and electrostatic. It is not intended for use on coated or hard surfaced stocks without the addition of driers. In addition to its ease of use, Rubber Base Plus is also excellent for thermography, forms, envelopes and letter-press applications where it performs perfectly.

ATTENTION!!

Van Son stopped production of the Rubberbase inks at the beginning of 2021. These inks were, and are, very popular in letterpress printing techniques such as letterpress, woodcut, linocut, wood engraving and typography.

However, Van Son raw materials are still available to make hundreds of cans of Rubberbase printing ink. Unfortunately not in all colors such as black and white. Wifac has been the supplier of Van Son inks in recent years.

Wifac will again supply Van Son inks, exclusively for Polymetaal, until the raw materials are exhausted.Some colors are no longer available in Rubberbase. These colors are then supplied from the Epple brand. These are also Pantone colors.
No dryers have been added, so these inks behave much like Son Rubberbase inks. However, Epple is not Rubberbase ink.
