SJH anti-counterfeit black ink test: pure black, strong coverage and stable printing - for tickets, packaging and document security.
A full written description of the demonstration, so the content is readable without playing the video.
This video demonstrates SJH anti-counterfeit black ink: pure black, strong coverage and stable printing - a base colour for tickets, packaging and documents.
The video shows the printed blackness and hue of the anti-counterfeit black ink. Requirements for black are stricter than expected: a blue, brown or red cast affects how it combines with spot colours, and uniformity of blackness across large solid areas directly shapes how a document looks. Blackness and hue stability are therefore key specifications.
The camera shows coverage across large solid areas. Black must fully cover the base paper colour and background pattern; in barcode and machine-readable areas especially, the base showing through causes reading failures. Coverage relates to pigment concentration and film thickness, so ink volume and mesh should be fixed by proofing for solid work.
Finally the video shows performance under continuous printing. Black is the highest-volume base colour, and printing stability - no scumming, no ink piling, consistent drying - directly determines efficiency and reject rate. A press trial before volume use is recommended to confirm compatibility with your equipment and drying conditions.
| Hue | Pure blackness with no cast, to keep spot colour combinations and document consistency |
|---|---|
| Coverage | Fully covers base colour and pattern, critical in machine-readable areas |
| Production | Printing stability drives efficiency and reject rate - run a press trial before volume use |
| Typical use | Tickets, packaging, documents and barcode / machine-readable areas |
Black looks like the most basic ink but is the highest-volume and most demanding in printing stability: a single batch problem affects far more print than any spot colour. Where barcodes, QR codes or machine-readable areas are involved, coverage must be validated by proofing, so that show-through does not cause whole-batch reading failure.
