SunJet launches digital 'low migration' technology for narrow web

The global inkjet division of UK-based Sun Chemical will unveil EtiJetTM LM UV at this week's LabelExpo Americas 2012 (11-13 September).

The new ink set is suitable for a range of applications, particularly food packaging, but it is also designed for use on standard non-food label stock to maximise operational flexibility for presses.

EtiJet LM UV, which the company claims meet the highest industry standards for food packaging, can be used with all types of piezo print heads and has migration levels of less than 10ppb in inks cured in air with standard mercury lamps.

Global business manager, digital, Pete Saunders said the new product would create "exciting opportunities" for its partners.

He added: "SunJet’s OEM partners are keen to ensure their equipment has the widest appeal to converters in labels and packaging and this means that they want to offer low migration inkjet technology as an option."
