SPGPrints launches low-migration UV-inkjet inks for safe food and pharmaceutical packaging

The inks are optimized for the company’s DSI press and meet the guidelines of the European Printing Ink Assocation (EuPIA). They are compliant with the Swiss Ordinance on Materials and Articles (SR 817.023.21). The inks do not contain any materials that have been excluded by the Nestle Guidance on Packaging Inks. The new range is based on SPGPrints’ common recipe to ensure the same high performance standards as it’s regular inks. Bas Hotijtink, commercial manager graphics at SPGPrints, commented: ‘Until now packaging buyers in the food and pharmaceutical sectors have had to rely on toner or analogue solutions. SPGPrints’ Low Migration Inks, together with the productivity advantages of the DSI press, give printers and brand-owners full assurance of meeting globally recognized safety standards, and high performance on the widest choice of film and paper substrates, in short-run printing situations.’
