Abstract

The surface tension method has been possible only for the low viscosity materials. However, the inks for the off-set lithography and intaglio should have high viscosity and high tack. In this paper, we propose the elongation method to estimate the surface tension of high viscosity printing inks. The elongation method could be more useful to estimate the surface tension and shown in this research, it is possible to calculate the surface tension of high viscoxity ink without diluting the sample.
