Abstract [eng] In this research ink shade is produced, which is selected by the customer. The sample is scanned by special equipment, the desired colour of ink is formulated and mixed. It consists of four different inks. The printing is held on a tinplate. For this surface special offset inks are used, with high resistance properties against heat and chemicals. These printed tinplates are bended and then used for canning of food. Most important thing is that the inks should have high adhesion properties and should not crack. Tests are held to understand the properties of these inks and how they differ from the technical data given by the manufacturer. Each batch is controlled and tested to be sure that the customer receives mixed ink with desired colour shade. Adhesion and bending tests are held to determine if this inks are suitable for this particular printing technology. If print houses would introduce these quality tests before the job starts, nonconformities would greatly decrease.
