Launched as a “truly tailor-made UV offset ink for narrow web presses” Lithocure 3G is the first UV offset ink introduced by XSYS Print Solutions Narrow Web Inks Division, Flint Ink Group using the combined experience of ANI Printing inks and BASF inks.
Global brand manager Niklas Olsson “It is the result of intense development work to optimize ink and water balance on the specially developed UV offset narrow web presses.” It is claimed to have excellent printability and colour strength and a “fantastic robustness to perform” irrespective of varying conditions possible in narrow web printing. “This will result in more press time, less waste and improved profitability for the quality minded offset printer.”
“The project was initiated by offset converters who complained to us continually about their productivity and print quality” said European product manager Scott Liddell “We involved the converters’ key people – the printers – early in the process. One of their prime needs, is that it allows printers to work with a very large operating window in fount and water settings. This leads directly to increased productivity as Lithocure 3G is easy to use, requires minimum set-up time and get printers started quickly.”
Leading European converters have been involved in the test phase. “They tell us
Lithocure 3G offers excellent litho print properties, and is very stable on press, irrespective of press settings and fluctuations. They have commented on the printability and colour strength across a variety of print substrates, from matt paper to synthetic films – a real advantage for today's multi-capability narrow-web presses,” said Niklas Olsson.
