Indigo Ink Transfer

[jlind]

When ink transfers from the Indigo blanket, does the ink split in some fraction, like offset and letterpress, or is it 100%? I don't see the little filaments of stringy ink on an indigo print. Has Indigo demonstrated this anywhere? Just curious.

I believe 100% of the ink transfers (with optimal PIP and blanket).

It's not quite 100% but pretty damned close assuming your substrate is tested and certified. Acidic unprimed substrate will have bad ink transfer.
