Duplicating ink is a specialised type of ink used in mimeograph and hectograph printing processes to create multiple copies of documents. It is designed to transfer easily from a stencil or gelatine pad to paper. Duplicating inks are typically oil-based and come in a limited range of colours like blue, purple, red, and black. They have a distinctive odour and can be messy to work with compared to modern photocopying and printing technologies. However, duplicating inks are still used in some applications.
Duplicating ink typically have a low viscosity of around 10-20 centipoise, allowing them to flow and transfer easily from the master sheet to the copy paper. Duplicating inks are designed to dry quickly, either through evaporation or absorption into the copy paper, in as little as 30 seconds to 1 minute, to prevent smearing or smudging. The inks are formulated to produce clear, vibrant colours that can be easily duplicated, with common colours including black, blue, and red. Duplicating inks contain a mixture of dyes, resins, and solvents that make up around 50-80% of the ink composition, enabling efficient transfer and reproduction. Additionally, these inks are formulated to be relatively smudge-resistant once transferred to the copy paper.
The first step in manufacturing process is selecting the appropriate pigments and dyes that will provide the desired colour and properties for the duplicating ink. Common pigments used include carbon black, iron oxides, and organic pigments. Next, binders such as resins and polymers, provide the ink with its adhesive and film-forming properties, while solvents, like hydrocarbons and alcohols, dissolve the binders and facilitate the combination of ink components. The pigments and dyes are then dispersed into the binder-solvent mixture using specialised equipment like roller mills, ball mills, or high-speed dispersers, ensuring the pigments are evenly distributed and the particle size is reduced to the desired level. After milling, the ink is filtered to remove any remaining large particles or agglomerates, and additional additives like waxes, surfactants, or drying agents may be incorporated to adjust the ink's physical properties, such as viscosity, gloss, and drying time.

The primary colourants in duplicating inks are usually dyes. One common dye used is crystal violet, which is synthesised from aniline and dimethylaniline through a condensation reaction.
Chemical Reaction: Aniline + Dimethylaniline + Phosgene → Crystal Violet + HCl
C6H5NH2 + 2(CH3)2NC6H4 + COCl2 → C25H30ClN3 + 2HCl
Duplicating inks require a solvent that can dissolve the dye and provide the correct viscosity. A common solvent is ethanol.
Chemical Formula: C2H5OH
Resins are added to improve the adhesion of the ink to the paper. A common resin used is rosin, which is processed from pine tree sap.
Chemical Formula: C19H29COOH
Various additives are included to modify the properties of the ink, such as plasticisers, stabilisers, and surfactants. One common plasticiser is dibutyl phthalate.
Chemical Formula: C16H22O4
The dye, solvent, resin, and additives are mixed in specific proportions to form the ink. The mixture is thoroughly blended to ensure homogeneity.
The ink undergoes quality control tests to ensure proper consistency, colour, and performance.
Duplicating inks have a variety of applications and are used in several types of duplicating and copying machines, including hectograph or spirit duplicating processes where the ink is transferred from a master copy to create multiple copies, and digital duplicator machines that use thermal or digital printing processes. These inks are designed to be easily transferred and reproduce well on duplicated pages, often providing a more affordable and efficient option for high-volume copying needs compared to toner-based copier inks. Duplicating inks are also used for check printing and security documents.
