Results for tag: "Solvent Based Printing Inks"

Solvent-based printing inks are a subset of the office supplies and equipment market, primarily used in commercial and industrial printing applications. These inks contain organic solvents that evaporate during the drying process, which leaves the pigment and resin bonded to the printed surface. Solvent-based inks are noted for their durability, and ability to adhere to non-absorbent materials, making them suitable for outdoor signage, packaging, and specialty coatings for various materials. Within the context of office supplies and equipment, solvent-based inks represent a specialized segment that caters less to day-to-day office printing needs and more toward professional printing enterprises and graphic production. These inks are often favored for their vibrant colors, quick-drying capabilities, and resistance to environmental elements such as sunlight and moisture. However, due to their volatile organic compound (VOC) content, they are subject to regulatory considerations and the push for more environmentally friendly alternatives has driven innovation in the ink industry, including the development of eco-solvent, UV-curable, and water-based inks. Some prominent companies that specialize in the manufacture and distribution of solvent-based printing inks include Sun Chemical, INX International Ink Co., Flint Group, Siegwerk Druckfarben AG & Co. KGaA, and Toyo Ink SC Holdings Co., Ltd. These firms offer various ink products and solutions that cater to the specific needs of the printing industry. Show Less Read more
