New fast drying low volatility organic compounds (VOCs), minimal dot gain coatings (including lithographic inks and varnish systems) are described herein. These systems dry significantly faster, and their use eliminates ink drying speed as a speed limiting factor in most lithographic applications. In addition to providing an improved drying rate over conventional controls, the fast drying, low / no VOC lithographic coating system of the present invention can provide the user with a significant improvement in dried film frictional resistance. |
