(SIGA Polytechnic, Chennai) – During the 71st Annual Meet of SIGA Past Pupils Unit (SIGAPPU) held on August 15 at the Salesian Institute of Graphic Arts SIGA Campus, the Department of Printing inaugurated the Ink Kitchen as part of research and training for their diploma students. Ink kitchen is where ink formulations are created by mixing various components, such as pigments, binders, solvents, and additives. The mixing process is precise to achieve the desired ink colour and properties.

 

The Ink Kitchen will play a vital role in ensuring the quality, consistency, and efficiency of the printing process by providing the SIGA printing press with properly prepared ink.”, said CN Santhosh Kumar, President of SIGAPPU.

 

The Ink Kitchen functions in ink mixing, colour matching, ink quality control, ink supply, ink recycling, inventory management and formulation development, where it keeps track of ink inventory to ensure a sufficient supply of ink for ongoing print jobs. Thus, prevent interruptions in the printing process due to ink shortage.
