Sun Chemical enhances Streamline range with new low odor ink

Sun Chemical announces the launch of a new low odor ink for its Streamline aftermarket inkjet range. Streamline ESL HPQ low odor inks are the first inkjet products to benefit from Sun Chemical’s innovative new low odor chemistry. The inks have been developed for the Roland Soljet Pro 2, Pro 3 and Versacam printers, and are also compatible with printers from Mutoh, Agfa and Uniform along with other eco-solvent inkjet printers using Epson DX 4 through to DX 7 piezo inkjet printheads.

Extensive tests throughout a six-month period with customers in the UK, Russia and continental Europe, has demonstrated the long term performance of these inks in a broad range of machine installations.

“The industry is seeing a boom in entrepreneurial start-up companies using wide format printers and these companies tend to occupy smaller offices,” said James Gould, product manager for Streamline. “As a result, many of our customers work in closer proximity to the printer than is often the case in larger print shops. This is making low odor inks a ‘must have’ for many of our customers.

“Our Streamline range offers an alternative to OEM inks. The new low odor range offers the high print quality and performance of Streamline ESL HPQ, with a low odor formulation,” he added. “This provides the best of both worlds for all of our customers.”

Streamline ESL HPQ LO is available in CMYK, light cyan & light magenta colours along with a flush solution. They will be available in 440ml cartridges and one liter bottles for use with bulk ink supply systems, throughout Europe. The Streamline inks are manufactured at Sun Chemical’s site in Midsomer Norton, which is dedicated to the manufacturing of Sun Chemical’s inkjet range and is one of the largest R&D, analytical and technical centres for inkjet worldwide.
