Opacity and glazing properties

The opacity of a pigmented colour is not only depending on the thickness of the colour application but also on the kind and concentration of the pigment as well as on the kind binder in the colour. all colours have been submitted to the same testing method: satndardized application on black and white striped saturated base. this allows a classification with the following 4 symbols:

  opaque  Semi-opaque   Semi-transparent  transparent

Lightfastness

This describes the durability of a colour in daylight. A number of influencing factors play a role too, like intensity of sunlight, temperature, moisture, oxygen or gas content of the air.

8 - Excellent  - Very good  - Good

Color Index and Pigments names

The Color Index system is an international standard to denominate dyes and pigments. A combination of letters and numbers indicate the colour category. For example: PO 20, means Pigment Orange 20. Color Index names are: PW (Pigment White) / PY (Pigment Yellow) / PO (Pigment Orange) / PR (Pigment Red) / PV (Pigment Violet) / PB (Pigment Blue) / PG (Pigment Green) / PBr (Pigment Brown) / PBk (Pigment Black).

Intaglio Etching Inks

The paints-inks are based on the Belgian binding agent STANDOLEJ, which offers special viscosity for graphical techniques, mainly for intaglio and relief. The etching paint has two main components: dyes and binding agents, also known as binders. The production process of these paints is composed of two main stages: component mixing and etching paint mixing. They dry quickly with no transparency or spilling and can be mixed and thinned with no risk of changing their initial properties. Etching inks are thinned with oils and mix well, which means that they can be mixed into any shades. The product range includes varnishes, waxes, oils, resins, asphalt and other media – all produced with the greatest of care, to provide an excellent means of preparing the plate.
