Ink Oil
Ink oils or "solvents" used in lithographic inks are high boiling, low vapor pressure hydrocarbons. Ink oil is composed principally of normal paraffin and naphthenic fractions of a petroleum distillate. These oils possess a vapor pressure of less than 0.1 mm Hg at 70oF. Sheet fed ink oils usually have initial boiling points greater than 500oF and boiling ranges extending up to 800oF. Non heat set web offset ink oils have initial boiling points greater than 500oF and boiling ranges extending up to 1000oF. Newsprint ink oils have boiling ranges extending up to 1000oF.
