The Standardization of Colored Printing Inks and Its Advantages: Confusion Exists in the Color Field at Present, as Discussions and Instructions Regarding Color Have No Common Basis or Viewpoint
Taylor W. AnsteadAbstract
The author discusses briefly the materials entering into the manufacture of printing ink. Since the pigments used in their manufacture exhibit the widest variations, standardization of colored inks is really the standardization of the pigments involved. Various proposed methods of standardization are considered, and it is hoped that out of their discussion some practical system will result that will do away with the confusion at present enveloping the subject.
