Inks can be modified to enhance the printing process to achieve a desired effect.  Properties such as feel and printability can be changed by adding a soft hand base or curable reducer.  Other characteristics such as cure temperature or elasticity (stretch) can be changed.   Also special effects can be added to a product by using an additive like a foil resist or puff additive.
