All quality assurance takes place in accordance with ISO 9001 requirements. Highly qualified employees undertake the development work and quality assurance in high-tech laboratories, which are equipped with state-of-the-art computer technology for control and development of printing inks. Product development takes place on our own printing press and other equipment. We leave no stone unturned in the process.

The volume, complexity and performance of packaging and wrapping is forever increasing, The packaging converters and the consumers each have their demands to solve the complex demands and the combination of substrate and printing ink is important, in order to achieve the optimal quality.

For technical reasons it is often difficult to change the substrate. Therefore it is always a matter of finding an appropriate printing ink suitable for the substrate. These conditions will probably not change in the future and Resino will remain available to share our expertise in printing inks.

It is always valuable to have a talk with us about printing inks.

In connection with printing of packaging and wrapping it is very important to have thorough knowledge about the fastnesses and resistances of the printing inks. Knowing how to achieve those properties, will make it possible to face up to the demands of every single printing assignment. The need for these informations is the reason for using tests for these properties as part of our quality control.

To ensure the optimal results using Resino printing inks, we provede informations about the expected end use properties of the printed substrates. These are typical properties on the bsis of the test conditions mentioned below.

Fastness means the qualities the printing inks have against steeping, discoloration or some other kinds of change in the shade, due to influence of chemicals etc.
The resistances refer to the qualities of the films regarding adhesion, flexibility and other mechanical qualities. Both the printing inks fastnesses and resistances are usually referred to as resistances under one.

On the following page there is listed the different methods (explained on the testcards) we use for the determination of the fastnesses and resistances:

Tes card No. 01: Light fastness
Testcard No. 02: Scratch resistance
Testcard No. 03: Flex crack resistance
Testcard No. 04: Tape resistance
Testcard No. 05: Rub resistance
Testcard No. 06: Block resistance
Testcard No. 07: Drying time
Testcard No. 08: Smell test
Testcard No. 09: Gloss measurement
Testcard No. 10: Boil resistance
Testcard No. 11: Sterilization fastness
Testcard No. 11a: Bread-sterilization-test
Testcard No. 12: Deep-freeze / freeze fastness
Testcard No. 13: Lamination
Testcard No. 14: Water resistance
Testcard No. 15: Solvent fastness
Testcard No. 16: Edible fat / sweet oil fastness
Testcard No. 17: Cheese fastness
Testcard No. 18: Alkali, soap and detergent fastness
Testcard No. 19: Acid fastness
Testcard No. 20: Migration and bleeding
Testcard No. 21: COF (Coefficient of friction)
Testcard No. 22: Heat-seal resistance
Testcard No. 23: Heat resistance
Testcard No. 24: Nuance / color strength control
Testcard No. 25: Viscosity

In addition to the tests mentioned above there is a vast number of special tests which are aimed for special assignments. It will of course be possible to have those tests carried out in our laboratory.
