Volatile organic compounds containing carbonyl groups can be released by
lithographic printing materials including inks, fountain solutions and
printed materials. Volatile organic compounds containing carbonyl groups
can also have a serious negative impact on the taste or odor of staple
materials such as foodstuffs. The volatile materials can be retained in
the lithographic compositions and printed materials can be trapped in the
printed materials using an improved reactive technology involving a
chemically reactive trap for such volatile carbonyl containing compounds.
