New process engineering for deinking. Part 1:The effects of inks on deinking

To develop more deinkable inks, there is a need for a better understanding of ink detachment and fragmentation during the recycling process. The aim was to gain a better understanding of the effects of printing ink formulation, deinking chemicals, deinking process and ageing on the detachment and fragmentation of printing inks. Such an understanding is essential in the development of new, more deinkable printing inks
