Pigment-based, waterproof ink produces better screens on standard film.
Sawgrass Technologies has announced the release of M-FP Ink Film Positive, a dye-based, waterproof ink for screen printing that provides superior durability, UV-blocking, and image definition at a lower cost than high-priced waterproof film.
Pigment-based M-FP inks offer more resistance to UV light than dye-based inks currently on the market. With the ability to dry quickly on most standard clear films, M-FP ink allows users to print multiple films at once and burn screens immediately after printing. It is especially formulated to create high quality circular dots at 40, 50, 55, and 60 LPI resulting in crisp, sharp, and high-resolution screens and shirts. M-FP nk’s high quality output with superior ink run ability is further enhanced with dense blacks and superior gray scale that equates to higher quality screen reproductions, higher quality graphics and the ability to printer higher LPI screen and ultimately, superior final output.
“M-FP ink film positive offers screenprinters a lower cost, waterproof option with exceptional quality,” said Terry Combs, Sales Director for Sawgrass. “Sawgrass continues to develop the most advanced digital printing solutions and we’re excited to introduce this new technology to the screenprinting industry.”
M-FP ink cartridges are available for the Epson 4880, 4800, 1800, and 1400 printer systems through an authorized network of distributors.
M-FP will work with most common RIP software, such as CADlink, FastRIP, MultiRIP I-proof, and AccuRIP.
