Water-based

The research and development of water-based inks has been ongoing, with the introduction of PremoFilmSXS / 2, the latest generation of water-based inks for plastic film printing, at the EMEA branch of Flexible Packaging Europe. Are designed to be printed on both sides of the polyolefin film. PremoFilmSXS / 2 uses a self-crosslinking technology to provide good solubility at the time of printing, thereby improving its end-use performance. And allows a wide range of end use applications including heat shrink, deep freeze and hygienic packaging as well as outdoor applications. This VOC-free technology has been developed and optimized for high-quality flexo printing to maintain high color fastness, high color strength and, ultimately, precision anilox rolls at printing speeds of up to 400 m / min High-definition printing.

Another developed water-based ink product is W100 by Nazdar Ink Technologies, which has been promoted by the company as an excellent printing stability, outstanding solubility, high-speed printability, high color strength, Usability. Nazdar said these features make the new W100 series the best choice for both coated and uncoated applications.

A growing number of ink suppliers are using the document color conversion system to help manage their inks more efficiently, says Gary Seward of PulseRoll Label Products, Inc. "Printing systems using labels for ink dispensing devices can only be expected for one year Of the investment payback period. The dedicated ink space unit has on-site dispensing capabilities to achieve rapid response to product requirements, reduce waste and improve product consistency.

PulseRoll label company invested heavily in research and development, has developed a new series of color products

"Professional field testing includes evaluation of ink labs, recipes and testing processes, and auditable metrics including downtime, inventory, material waste and ink waste can be measured and monitored, and appropriate actions are implemented."

Implementing an ink management system with an ink dispenser and management software allows the company to reduce ink consumption by purchasing basic component stocks instead of premixing inks to reduce ink costs and reduce ink inventory. "A complete integrated logistics solution provides a robust architecture that reduces waste, ensures consistent quality, and provides consistent production capacity," said Maarten Hummelen, director of marketing for GSE Composites.

Colorsat Modular Ink Dose Dispensers Swatch, Match and Solo from GSE Formulation Company meet the general requirements for flexo, gravure and screen printing.

Sun Chemical's PolareDispenser ink dispenser is designed to be dedicated to label printing with narrow web machines. Work with Inkmaker to develop a low-dose dose dispenser to precisely deliver the amount of ink on-demand to minimize waste. The modular system allows for the distribution of flexographic and offset inks from the same dispensing head.

HMJ-200 ink dispenser features a valve system that can be adjusted to move and instruct each valve to "single open" to bulk ink distribution to the ink pot

INX International ink company introduced the HMJ-200 ink dispenser, which features each valve can be individually allocated by the amount of standard batch of ink to the pot, the pipe diameter as small as 2.54 cm (1 inch), after each distribution valve Can be automatically cleaned, 'plug and play' design allows field operators to easily remove the HMJ-200 from the slide, the installation of ink.
