Rich Gold Offset Ink is a cool-tone rich gold metallic spot color ink specially formulated for offset printing, made with custom metallic pigments. It delivers a pure, cool rich gold shade with full metallic luster; features excellent ink-water balance, superb transferability, no ink buildup, and no plate scumming. It offers stable press performance, resistance to oxidation and dulling, strong adhesion, and excellent surface wear resistance. Compatible with all types of sheet-fed offset presses, it is widely used for spot color gold graphic printing on tobacco and alcohol gift boxes, cosmetic color boxes, greeting cards, and high-end brochures.
Six advantages of offset printing ink:
1.Pure Rich Gold Hue, Strong Metallic Finish
Standard cool-tone rich gold, with a transparent color free of red or yellow tints, delivering a premium metallic finish and precise spot color reproduction.
2.Stable Offset Press Performance
Compatible with offset ink-water balance systems, with moderate fluidity; no plate clogging, skinning, or ink buildup during long runs, and easy press operation.
3.Anti-Oxidation & Color Stability
Special anti-oxidation formula prevents finished products from blackening, dulling, or fading during long-term storage, ensuring excellent color retention.
4.Strong Adhesion & Friction Resistance
Dense, tough ink film resists smudging and peeling, and withstands abrasion and scratching during stacking and transportation, protecting metallic graphic surfaces.
5.Wide Compatibility & Versatility
Suitable for coated paper, white cardstock, and specialty art paper; compatible with all conventional sheet-fed offset printing equipment.
6.Excellent Post-Processing Compatibility
Does not affect bronzing, die-cutting, embossing, or varnishing processes; no edge cracking or ink peeling during post-processing, ensuring high production yield.
How to choose:
1.First choice for cool-tone rich gold spot color printing.
2.Preferred for high-end gift boxes and luxury packaging requiring metallic finishes.
3.Ideal for large-scale spot color printing production lines on sheet-fed offset presses.
4.Top pick for orders with strict requirements for gold ink color, oxidation resistance, and fade resistance.
How to use:
1.Stir thoroughly before press use, as metallic pigments settle easily; ensure complete mixing before production.
2.Fine-tune ink-water parameters and reduce water supply to prevent gold ink emulsification and color shift.
3.Control ink supply and printing pressure to ensure uniform, full color coverage on the printing plate.
4.After production, clean ink rollers and printing plates with a dedicated offset ink cleaning agent.
5.Store in a sealed, light-proof container to isolate from air and prevent oxidation; keep away from high temperatures and dusty environments.

Q1.Why is the printed color off, greenish or dull?
Insufficient stirring or excessive water causing emulsification. Reduce plate water supply and stir thoroughly to restore the standard rich gold shade.
Q2.Why is the metallic luster weak and finish dull?
Insufficient ink supply or excessive printing pressure. Increase ink supply moderately and reduce pressure to retain metallic pigment luster.
Q3.Why do finished products blacken and fade during storage?
Exposure to air causes oxidation. Store in a sealed container.
Q4.Why does plate scumming and ink-water imbalance occur easily on press?
Gold powder settles easily, causing abnormal viscosity. Stir the ink trough frequently and strictly control water usage to prevent ink emulsification.
Q5.Can it be mixed with regular color inks?
Mixing is not recommended. It will distort the metallic hue, cause color chaos, and reduce offset press stability.
Q6.Do I need to add auxiliary additives for adjustment?
Use directly on press under normal conditions; a small amount of ink oil can be added if fluidity is poor. Do not add drying agents arbitrarily.
Q7.Is it compatible with UV printing or flexographic equipment?
This product is a gold ink dedicated to conventional offset printing; it is incompatible with UV units and flexographic equipment. Cross-machine mixing is prohibited.
