Abstract : The adhesion of the organic pigments and the resin binding are closely related to the printability of organic printing inks and their rheological, optical, mechanical and storage characteristics. In this study, representative parameters such as viscosity, colour strength, gloss, adhesion, drying time, rub resistance and storage stability are used as performance indicators and compared among the different materials. An experimental design with triple measurements was taken into account, and descriptive statistics were used for summarising the data. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences among the resin systems; Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test was used to determine pairwise differences.

Keywords : Organic Pigments, Printing Inks, Acrylic Resin, Epoxy Resin, Polyurethane Resin, Pigment Compatibility, Rheology, Colour Strength, Gloss, Adhesion, Statistical Analysis.
