Abstract
We demonstrate the usefulness of statistically designed mixture experiments in the development of special inks for use in postage meters. These inks must satisfy many difficult and conflicting requirements, so careful experimentation and analysis is essential. A statistical approach was used to design an efficient series of experimental formulations; the characteristics of these formulations were measured and the results then statistically analyzed and interpreted with the aid of contour plots. With the aid of these plots we were able to devise formulations with improved characteristics.
