Abstract

An energy curable ink composition comprising an acrylate-functional derivative of soybean oil and one or more further acrylate-functional materials is suitable for printing on a cold-set lithographic press and is cured by exposure to an actinic radiation source located on the press.

Claims (7)

1. A method of printing with a cold-set lithographic press, comprising steps of:

printing on the press an absorbent substrate with cold-set news ink;

printing at least one of nonabsorbent and semi-absorbent substrates on the press with an energy curable ink composition comprising from about 7% by weight to about 12% by weight of an acrylate-functional derivative of soybean oil and one or more further acrylate-functional materials, curing the ink on the printed substrate with actinic radiation from a source located on the press.

2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the source comprises an ultraviolet radiation lamp.

3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the ink comprises epoxidized soybean oil acrylate.

4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the actinic radiation is electron beam radiation.

5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the source comprises at least one UV lamp installed on each side of the printed substrate.
