Mimaki claims its new SVHC- (Substances of Very High Concern) and CMR- (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reprotoxic substances) free, ELH-100 and ELS-120 inks deliver exceptional print performance with 30% less odour than its former generation of inks, setting a new benchmark in sustainable, safe printing.
With industry compliance rapidly moving towards a total future ban on SVHC substances, these new UV-LED flatbed inks keep Mimaki out in front of industry regulations, whilst still being able to achieve the same scratch resistance, colour gamut and adhesion.
Mimaki says that ‘using these inks will not only support our customers’ own sustainability objectives but they can provide a true differentiator when selling to environmentally conscious brands’.
To comply with environmental laws and adhere to leading brands’ sustainability policies, UV-LED is becoming the preferred technology across the Sign Graphics industry. The technology is increasingly being chosen for its energy efficiency, low VOC emissions and safer working conditions for operators, so adding inks that further expand this Sustainability impact offers users an even greater competitive edge, wholly aligned with Mimaki’s catch-cry to look for ways to ‘Print Different’.
