Sun Chemical announces drupa plans

At drupa, Sun Chemical will be announcing developments in UV curing printing inks and flexible packaging, advances in water-based printing technology and international strategic partnerships. The company will be on stand B75, Hall 6, at the show in Dsseldorf from May 29 to June 11. 

For the first time at drupa, Sun Chemical will be showing security and brand protection solutions. Sun Chemical Security has been active for several years and has grown a customer profile of national governments, major brand owners around the world and converters interested in offering brand protection features as part of their own portfolio. Sun Chemical’s speciality is product and document authentication, which means being able to distinguish a fake item from the genuine product at the touch of a button using covert machine readable inks and coatings.

A new range of sheetfed offset process inks will build on the success of the World Series launched at drupa four years ago. Sun Chemical will also unveil a new range of UV curing inks – called SunCure Advantage – that comprises around 30 percent sustainable materials.

In packaging, Sun Chemical will be using drupa as the platform for advanced color management solutions for brand owners and designers as well as printers. Latest developments on Sun Chemical’s FastJet digital presses and new coating technologies will also be a key focus at the show.
