In the printing ink industry, ultramarine blue pigment provides a distinctive and vibrant blue shade that is valued in decorative packaging, security printing, and specialty inks. Its excellent lightfastness makes it suitable for outdoor and long-life print applications.
Ultramarine blue is used in water-based inks, solvent-based inks, and UV-curable ink systems. Its inorganic nature ensures good compatibility with most ink vehicles without adverse chemical reactions.
At Shree Krishna Ultramarine Pigments (P) Limited, our ink-grade ultramarine blue is produced with a fine particle size and narrow distribution to ensure smooth flow properties and excellent printability in offset, flexographic, and gravure printing processes.
One of the key advantages of ultramarine blue in inks is its non-bleeding behavior, which prevents color contamination in multi-color printing. This is essential for maintaining print quality in high-speed production environments.
Ink formulators looking to achieve specific blue shades can blend ultramarine blue with other pigments or toners to achieve custom colors while retaining the stability and performance advantages of the ultramarine pigment system.
