Think Ink

For instance, shopping bags are mostly water-based while high-performance film laminations are mostly solvent-based. The exception to this equilibrium is the continued higher growth in radiation-cured products. UV and EB inks will continue to grow faster than their underlying markets due to conversions from either water or solvent inks. The rate of conversion to UV and EB has slowed over the last several years, but we will continue to see additional conversions to radiation-cured products as their unique characteristics are identified and the cost performance relationship is better understood.
