EarthPrint™ Flexographic Ink
UV & LED Flexographic Inks with Ultimate Recyclability
Green & Clean…New EarthPrint Flexographic systems are formulated to achieve the highest printed product recyclability, embracing a more sustainable future. A strategic way to combat supply chain issues, the EarthPrint system performs well at top press speeds, with minimal power usage, producing a more energy efficient process than ever before.
EarthPrint combines the high-performance print properties of our UV & LED inks with a specially designed UV recycle primer where needed to provide 2 recyclability options for PET-based printed materials:
+ Full wash off capabilities in a caustic wash when the application requires full ink removal and uses a recycle primer under 30 or 32 Series UV Flexo Inks
+ Resistance to caustic solution when the application requires the inks to stay with the substrate and uses 17 Series UV/LED dual-cure Flexo inks
Formulated to combat raw material shortages, EarthPrint printed materials are highly recyclable, allowing cleaner recycled materials to use in manufacturing.
EarthPrint is recommended for all flexo printing applications where high speed, excellent adhesion, low misting, intense color shade, low dot-gain and excellent print graphics are desired.
