DuPont Packaging Graphics and Sun Chemical collaborate with ink and plate technologies

The patented UniQure™ inks used in the WetFlex™ printing process offers the flexo industry an ink system based on both water-based and energy curable chemistry—bringing users all of the universality, printability, and press speed advantages they expect from solvent-based inks, but without solvents’ drawbacks. Using the WetFlex™ process, printers no longer need to monitor VOCs or compensate for viscosity, solvent losses and dot fidelity gains—all while capitalizing on the advantages of electron-beam curing. UniQure™ is a low-odor, high-performing ink system that makes wet trapping possible, advancing print fidelity in the flexo process to levels comparable to gravure.
