18 Chapter 1 Introduction
Resources:
• Initial ink amount: The amount of concentrated ink in the ink tank dispersion is
equivalent to almost one can. In order to print the job, you should prepare and
install at least one additional can. The weight of the ink in the can may be as small
as required for the print run. You must prepare at least one can of ink even if the
printing job consumes much less.
• Getting acquainted: To correctly operate the ink mixing system and take advantage
of its full range of features, experience and familiarity with the system is essential.
The following phenomena are caused by using Rhodamine ink:
• It causes the color of the squeegee (in Series 1000/2000, TurboStream-based, and
Sun computer-based presses) and the color of the developer (in Series
3000/4000/5000 and UltraStream-based presses) to change to yellow. However,
no deterioration of any other characteristics of the squeegee or developer is
expected.
• It causes an excess of particle residue to be found in the separator clean liquid and
on the blanket background.
Under normal circumstances, no degradation of print quality or machine reliability
is expected. When printing more than 1,000 pages with Rhodamine as one of the
separations or when printing with an ink mix containing a large percentage of
Rhodamine, slight contamination of other inks may occur. The expected color
shift will not be larger than ∆E*
= 1.5.
