OPERATING MANUAL
3.7.6 Opaque inks module (scattering pigments)
Inks with scattering pigments can be read-in and calculated with the opacity module. In addition,
functions for calculating covering power are provided (
see Chapter 9 “Control of covering
power (opacity module only)”).
3.7.7 Viscosity calculation module
The viscosity module enables the user to calculate recipes for any viscosities (
see Section
14.4.7 “Entering a viscosity (viscosity module only)”). Its fi eld of application is the fl exo/gravure
printing sector.
3.7.8 Weighing and batching systems module
This module permits the transfer of a recipe calculated by the InkFormulation to a weighing or
batching system.
3.7.9 Basic materials calculation module
The basic materials module allows the user to split the inks into any number of partial components
such as concentrates/pigments, additives and solvents (
see Chapter 19 “Processing and
creating basic materials (basic materials module only)”). It is used above all by ink manufacturers,
as well as printing fi rms using concentrates, which have to be supplemented with additives and
solvents.
3.7.10 E-recipe module
Note: The module e-recipe is no longer available in InkFormulation 6. If you purchased the
module for a previous version, you can use it in InkFormulation but only with Microsoft Outlook
2000/2003.
This module conveys color specifi cations and recipes via the Internet between the printing fi rm,
which defi nes and mixes the colors, and the ink manufacturer, who calculates and tests the
recipe.
