14.4.8 Division of assortment inks into basic materials
(basic materials module only)
When a basic materials database has been compiled, the inks of the
assortment can be assigned their relevant basic materials in the Set up
colorant window.
The basic materials contained and the surcharge are allocated here
to the ink (basic ink in viscosity module). Following every selection of a
basic material, an automatic request is made to enter the percentage
proportion (percent by weight).
(viscosity module only): The solvent of the assortment used for the
viscosity calculation can similarly be split into its basic materials. These
are normally further solvents, which should always occur in the same
ratio in the print ready ink.
1. Click Basic materials in the Set up colorant window.
The Basic Material Selection window appears.
2. Double-click on the required basic material in the available
basic materials field. The Settings window is then displayed.
3. Enter the value of concentration (percent by weight) and click on OK.
The basic material selected is then displayed in the selected
basic materials field with the concentration entered.
4. Make the required input in the Upcharge field.
The price for print ready inks (P1) or the basic materials price (P2) is
displayed in the main window corresponding to the recipe output selected
( see Section 22.2 «Formulation settings»). If inks occur in the recipe
which are not further divided into components (e.g. ink leftovers) the
mixture price (P) comprising prices of basic materials and inks is displayed
in the case of basic materials display.
