White and glossy inks

Sun Chemical extends its range of SolarFlex inks for narrow web printing.

The beta trials have showed the superiority in turns of opacity, printability and gloss of SolarFlex Neutron White. The ink is intended for the printing of labels, tags, sleeves, tickets and other narrow web applications where high opacity and whiteness is required.

The second UV flexo white ink is SolarFlex Sleeve High Opacity White which allows customers to match the opacity of other UV flexo sleeve whites but at a lower filmweight. It is a UV flexo last-down ink intended for reverse printing of shrink sleeves and other impervious substrates where high opacity is required, including wrap-around labels, clear, paper or board substrates. It dries rapidly creating a sturdy and flexible film with shrink capacities of up to 60-70%. The ink is compatible with SolarFlex Nova Sl and other UV and EB inks of the Solaris system of products for a vast range of medium to narrow web print machines.
