Kao Collins, a provider of industrial inkjet ink solutions, proudly announces the release of two ink formulations for HP printing technology at this year’s Pack Expo. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the high-performance capabilities of SIGMA+ and Pitch Black inks firsthand at the Kao Collins booth.

SIGMA+ and Pitch Black meet EuPIA and REACH SVHC compliance standards and are non-CMR and PFAS-Free, demonstrating Kao Collins’ commitment to sustainability and regulatory excellence.

“Kao Collins takes a proactive approach to product development, ensuring our solutions are prepared to meet and exceed new regulatory demands. We aim to provide our customers with high-performance products that stay ahead of evolving standards and best practices,” said Chris Rogers, VP at Kao Collins.

The legacy of innovation continues with SIGMA+, the latest addition to the SIGMA family of solvent inks. SIGMA+ redefines inkjet printing with its exceptional durability, extended decap time, and superior performance across various non-porous substrates.

“The newest member of our SIGMA family pushes boundaries with its unmatched durability, longer decap time, and superior performance,” said Rogers. “It helps companies achieve greater efficiency by minimizing downtime and waste while delivering higher-quality prints.”

Pitch Black makes a significant leap forward for printing on porous materials such as lumber, mill coat, uncoated paper, and corrugated cardboard. Its unique aqueous dye-pigment formulation delivers outstanding optical density, genuinely living up to its name.

SIGMA+ and Pitch Black boast an impressive 16-hour decap time, significantly advancing usability and operational efficiency. This prolongs open time, reducing printhead downtime, maintenance, and cleaning efforts.

“At Kao Collins, we believe that designing inks is about more than just performance—it’s about making life better by contributing to a cleaner, safer environment,” added Rogers.
