Archroma eyes digital printing sector with ‘pioneering’ inks
03/08/2015
Working with a Swiss technology provider, it claims it has created a pioneering system that will change the way inks are supplied to digital printers.
It says Inkpresso offers production flexibility, no shelf-life problems, a larger colour spectrum and the possibility of an individual coloristic fingerprint.
From January 1, 2016, formaldehyde will be re-classified by ECHA5 as "may cause cancer" (Carc. 1B). To comply, Archroma is combining Fixapret Resin WFF, a "zero add-on"4 formaldehyde no-iron finishing system and Helizarin EcoSafe a "zero add-on"4 formaldehyde printing system.
Archroma, which recently invested in dyestuffs producer M Dohmen, will also showcase its Earthcolours range of dyes made from agricultural waste.
