This could include self-adhesive labels for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals as well as special packaging such as aluminum caps or folding cartons. Their chemical composition meets all the guidelines of the European Printing Ink Association (EuPIA) and the Swiss Ordinance on Materials and Articles.Tau low-migration inks contain no substances that are explicitly excluded by the Nestlé Packaging Inks Specification.Tau Low Migration UV Ink is available in the colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, Orange, Violet and White. It exhibits a shelf life of 12 (CMYKOV) and 6 (W) months, respectively.
Durst UV InkDurst not only supplies water-based inks but also UV ink systems for corrugated and display applications. Ink systems such as the Rho Paper and Board 30 DM ink or Rho POP HS ink are ideal for realizing corrugated and display applications using conventional UV systems.
This paper and board ink was specially developed for printingon paper surfaces. It is a particularly cost-efficient solution for all producers of displays and other paper applications. The ink is suitable for printing on coated and semi-coated paper as well as uncoated, absorbent paper surfaces. Its hard surface allows it to be stacked easily and further processed without abrasion.
POP HS ink is a very versatile ink that is suitable for printing on paper surfaces as well as on Forex, dibond, and styrene. The particularly large color space and the gloss finish mean that this ink can be used very flexibly.
Durst Water Technology InkDurst Water Technology is a part of the long-term strategy of Durst offering digital printing systems with water-based, hazard-free inks as a sustainable alternative to conventional printing systems in the field of corrugated boards and displays. The corresponding ink systems deliver high-quality, odorless, abrasion-resistant, high-gloss, and light-fast end products in single-pass and multi-pass printing systems.
This water-based ink was designed for extremely fast print processes on corrugated materials and is used in the Delta single-pass print line. It can be used to realize high-quality, odorless, abrasion-resistant, glossy, and light-fast corrugated products that precisely meet the requirements of the packaging industry.
Durst’s water-based WT MP ink is used in Delta multi-pass printing systems to realize high-quality print products in multi-pass printing. For example, skin tones are reproduced even more naturally through the use of light colors.
Rhotex inks are water-based, dye sub-inks for soft signage applications on polyester-based materials. When combined with the new Rhotex generation, they permit direct printing onto textiles as well as printing onto transfer paper. These inks are completely environmentally friendly, free of VOC emissions, and easy to dispose of.
Compared to eco-solvent inks, Rhotex inks offer a significantly larger color space. Hue and color density are far superior to those of UV and latex inks, while ink consumption is very low.
The main applications are promotional media, flags, banners, wall coverings, backlit advertising panels, and stage and trade show construction.
