INK SCALE

[RICK STEFANICK]

What ink scale are you mid size shops using. We are going to be mixing all water base and plastisol using base and PC's. Thanks in advance

The question will arise of what are your typical volumes, to establish the range you will need.
For small amounts of ink using pigments, you'll need one that goes way down.
Myself, I still love A&D, .but for the really small quantities I sometimes mix, it would not work with pigments.

Probably within .05 of a gram. mixing mostly quarts of discharge and gallons of plastisol

The Sartorious model that plays with IMS 3.0.  Ours runs down to 0.01.  A scale that reads a true 0.01 and has a capacity that can mix a gal of plastisol costs a good grip more than most scales going to hundredths but have lower capacity.  Worth it for PC mixing small qty imo.

this if you can swing it. I've seen used ones go in a reasonable range. I bought Zoo's when ours died.
