Qualified suppliers publish ECT and Mullen retention data at standard coat weights of 1.2\u20132.5 g\/m\u00b2, which should be a mandatory item in your supplier qualification packet.\"}}]\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to evaluate a flexographic ink company: water-based specs, SCTR benchmarks, ECT retention, PPWR compliance, and total cost of ownership for converters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[405,472,103],"class_list":["post-1094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-materials-and-processes","tag-ppwr-compliance","tag-flexographic-printing","tag-water-based-inks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1094\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tadapack.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
