PolyOne Specialty Inks has launched Zodiac™ Aquarius Digital Hybrid, an eco-conscious water-based ink system, at the Impressions Expo Show 2020 in Long Beach, California. The ink consists of a white under-base and matte topcoat designed to protect and enhance digitally printed garments. The ink produces a soft, flexible hand, matte finish, and vibrant color and improves the wash durability.
Inks with Eco-conscious Solutions
PolyOne’s also showcased portfolio of screen-printing inks, water-based inks, silicone to plastisol and non-PVC plastisol ink technologies from Wilflex™, Rutland™, Zodiac™, Union Ink™ and Printop™ brands.
PolyOne displayed over 100 printed designs showing distinct aesthetic characteristics of each ink. Uniquely themed artwork illustrated the radiant special effects, opaque colors, and brilliant white inks used to bring the designs to life.
PolyOne continue to expand its portfolio of inks with eco-conscious solutions to allow printers to be more efficient and productive while meeting their sustainability goals. Low temperature curing plastisol inks help conserve energy and reduce oven temperatures. The high solids water-based system has allowed printers to reduce the number of screens, ink deposit, and flash units required.
