- Smart (magnetic) ink manufacture requires stringent conformance of the ink to particular specifications. To mitigate errors during production, quality assurance tools are needed. This paper demonstrates the use of a novel evaporative mass loss technique as a simple and inexpensive route for monitoring such ink manufacture. It develops a similarity principle between electrochemical theory and evaporation, and reveals that anisotropic transport occurs in the gas phase. The protocols are currently being employed at the bespoke manufacturing facility at Bemrose Booth Paragon (BBP), which manufactures more than 150 tonnes of magnetic ink per annum for use around the world.
