Xaar approves new UV-curable ink from Fujifilm Sericol

Xaar extends its successful partnership with Fujifilm Sericol with the approval of another of the company's innovative inks for use with Xaar's piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet technology. The new UV-curable general purpose ink, Uvijet Versa, has been developed to achieve vibrant, lightfast and durable colors when used in conjunction with Xaar's XJ-126 and XJ-500 high-performance printheads.

Formulated specifically for wide-format graphic and flatbed printer applications, the Uvijet Versa ink offers excellent adhesion and a tough, scratch-resistant finish on a wide range of rigid and flexible substrates. This makes it an ideal choice for both internal and external graphics, such as banner and signage printing, POS, vehicle and exhibition graphics as well as backlit graphics and window displays.

Xaar Ink product manager Dr Jill Woods commented: ‘This latest development further strengthens our portfolio and supports our strategy to offer global customers a consistent, open solution. Working with partners such as Fujifilm Sericol enables us to provide the industry with fully optimized inkjet solutions and inks to maintain excellent print performance and jetting reliability.’

Keith Nixon, business development manager, Graphic OEM, Fujifilm Sericol concludes, ‘UV-curable inks open up a wealth of new applications for inkjet printing. Our collaboration with Xaar enables us to offer a proven solution to help expand the adoption of inkjet technology and enable customers to realize its potential.’
