    Hartmann is part of Sun Chemical group. I dont know how is it in Ireland, but here we dont have ink with Hartmann brand already long time.

    Never heard of it. Used the Kohl Madden series from Sun Chemical and had lots of problems with pigment load and dryer at first. They ended up working them out but in my opinion Zipset is the best I've ever used.

    In my experience the ink tech makes all the difference.

    I've used companies who's PMS mixes didn't even match the book, and others who cheat on pigment etc. etc....An experienced guy mixing your inks makes my job much easier.

    Hartmann is a part of Sun Chemical last time we printed with that offset inks 8-9 years ago.Quality for that period was O.K.for the normal jobs we have.

    It runs on the four colour runs great no control of the products on the 8. Quick turn around and the bindery can tell which press a job was printed on by the marking at the folder or muller, and the four colour is winning. Hartman ink is running with prisco etch.
