Sun Chemical will promote its Streamline range of inkjet inks for wide format printers. Formulated with low-odor chemistry, the Streamline ink series is Greenguard Gold-certified for low indoor emissions.

With the increasing popularity of new, industrial, 3.2m-solvent inkjet presses, Sun Chemical offers tailored Streamline ink solutions to support presses with Konica Minolta, Spectra Starfire, and Ep-son i3200 printheads. Optimized for the inkjet droplet specification and the end-user print applica-tion requirements, the latest addition to the range is Sun Chemical’s Streamline SGR, a solvent ink series for presses using Ricoh Gen 5 printheads.

SEPAREL for inkjet applications is a hollow fiber membrane, developed by DIC Corporation. These degassing modules prevent gas from passing through a hollow fiber membrane, allowing only liquid to pass through and resulting in minimal pressure loss and a more compact size. The range offers a variety of products suitable for various ink types and applications, including aque-ous, solvent, and UV.

Sun Chemical will be promoting its Streamline aqueous ink technology for high-speed, industrial poster printing on presses. Streamline APY, for Kyocera printheads, is a high-color strength series, delivering drying benefits and a significant reduction in ink consumption compared to competitive aqueous inks.

The latest addition to the aqueous series is Streamline APR, formulated for Ricoh Gen 5 printheads and offering all of the advantages highlighted with Streamline APY.

Sun Chemical will highlight a full range of digital inks for textile decoration across a variety of ap-plications such as sign and display, sportswear, fashion, and home textiles.

Products presented will include the newly launched Xennia Amethyst Evo RC reactive ink, an evo-lution of the Xennia Amethyst series which has been specially formulated to enhance production and enable customers to achieve their high-volume targets in the fashion and home textile industry, without compromising quality.

Also highlighted will be a range of market-leading sublimation inks, including Opal and ElvaJet Topaz, as well as ElvaJet SR342 –– Sun Chemical´s latest range of sublimation inks –– to address higher viscosity printheads. In addition, Sun Chemical will showcase solutions for pigment and acid inks.
