Michelman introduces Xeikon-approved primer for IML

The primer is Xeikon-approved for use with Xeikon dry toners and said to provide ink adhesion to most IML films as well as improve rub resistance. ‘It is particularly effective for difficult applications such as in-mold label printing and is suitable for food contact,’ said the company in a statement.  

The DigiPrime 4453 is commonly used for digitally printed labels and flexible packaging but can also be used in conventional offset and UV printing applications. 
According to Michelman, all DigiPrime grades are 100 percent aqueous, safe for the environment and the operator and do not yellow or lose print receptivity over time.
