Zusammenfassung:Volatile organic compound (VOC) contents of news, sheetfed, and heatset inks were evaluated by using different methods, and comparison of data with significant differences is reported. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 24, EPA Method 24A, and Bay Area Method 30 were the methods used. Ingredients of news inks were tested with Method 24, and experimental and calculated percentage VOC values of formulated inks were compared. Along with United States Department of Agriculture's 100% vegetable oil‐based inks, commercial vegetable oil‐based, and petroleum‐based inks were used for comparison. Significant differences between methods, colors, and sources are discussed.
