This method provides information as to the percent solids at kick out or differences in solubility using various oils or solvents. In vehicles and finished inks, solubility plays an important role, in that this characteristic influences tack, tack stability, yield value, flow, gloss and set speed. With the actual trend for less aromatics in mineral distillates, solubility becomes...
