UV/EB Inks - Take a Sigh of Relief

As already mentioned, people want what they want RIGHT NOW, and they want it better. Converters are not above this need, and Sun Chemical has recently developed a new ink technology for just such a package printer. Solarcat™ is the new UV ink technology from Sun Chemical that can dramatically improve press efficiency and production speeds. It is a cationic UV flexo ink system and is at least two times faster at curing than other products in the marketplace, according to Sun Chemical. Solarcat has the exceptional technical properties as a cured ink film recognized in cationic systems, while delivering significant improvements over existing technologies. These include higher cure speed, lower humidity sensitivity, low pressroom odor, and the absence of hazardous photoinitiator by-products.
