Sheetfed Offset Inks for UV LED Printing

SunWave™ is a family of UV LED products for lithographic offset printers designed for commercial as well as sensitive packaging, low odor, and migration compliance. These high-performance offset inks for commercial and packaging printing are suitable for use on all sheetfed press types and offer class-leading lithographic performance.

Delivering fast make-ready, highly stable printing with minimal wash-ups and excellent duct flow, SunWave results in increased uptime for presses and increased productivity for printers.

SunWave products for commercial printing are based on the latest highly engineered UV resin system and provide exceptionally fast and hard curing under UV LED and low energy mercury lamps for both single-and double-sided printing with or without a protective coating.

SunWave products for packaging printing are designed to achieve compliant levels of migration when cured under UV LED even at the highest press speeds, meeting the same productivity levels as normal UV inks for food packaging.

SunWave products are fully compliant with the latest EuPIA raw materials guidelines.
