Ruco Inks opens US plant

Ruco Inks of Eppstein, Germany, has opened Ruco USA in Wood Dale, Illinois. Ruco USA carries the company’s full line of UV inks, including products for screen printing by both flat and rotary press, dry and waterless offset as well as UV flexo.

With the opening of the new plant comes an expansion of the full UV product line, including the 080-UV dry offset ink: a low-migration, ITX-free ink suited for printing speeds of 600 pieces per minute; specifically for the decoration of food packaging cups.

The new Ruco 945-UV is a screen ink for printing plastics such as HDPE, PP and PVC. It features higher pigmentation for better opacity than previous versions. The Ruco UVFX line of UV flexographic inks is also ITX-free, featuring low odor and can be used at printing speeds of up to 450 ft/min.
