Cronite's water-based K.B. intaglio inks (die-stamping)
KB (Krome-Brite) Inks are water soluble inks. Once the ink has dried, it becomes waterproof. Fast-drying KB Inks actually shrink as they dry, producing very sharp, clean impressions. When fully cured, they are rub-resistant and produce "non-chip" impressions that cannot be removed from the paper without tearing the paper itself. All KB colors and blacks are compatible with laser printers. The heat produced by today's laser printers has no effect on them, unlike varnish inks and thermography.

VARNISH INKS
Varnish inks have mostly been replaced by water-soluble inks. They have fallen out of favor since the inception of water-soluble inks over 30 years ago because of their difficulty of operation and cleanup, and because of their environmental hazards.
Impressions made with varnish inks can be very glossy, which is the only reason that they are used in the today for die stamping.
Varnish inks are not laser proof since they melt at low temperatures. Also, they will become brittle and may chip away.
38 stock colors are available, as seen in the color chart booklet. It is
possible to match varnish inks to almost any color desired.
