Sun Chemical Introduces New OEM Inks

Sun Chemical expands its Streamline line of OEM-compatible solvent-based inkjet inks, first introduced into the market here in 2014, with the launch of new low-odour inks for North American printers.

The new Streamline ESL HPQ inks are the first inkjet products to leverage Sun Chemical’s recently developed low-odour chemistry. The inks have been developed for the Roland Soljet Pro 2, Pro 3 and VersaCAMM printers, explains the company, and are also described as being compatible with Mutoh ValueJet printers along with other eco-solvent inkjet printers using Epson DX 4 through to DX 7 piezo inkjet print heads.

“The industry is seeing a boom in entrepreneurial start-up companies using wide format printers and these companies tend to occupy smaller offices,” said Penny Holland, Vice President Marketing, North American Inks, Sun Chemical. “Because many of our customers now work in closer proximity to the printer, they really need low-odour inkjet ink cartridges installed in the printer.”

Sun Chemical explains customers who already use Streamline ESL HPQ inks can switch to the new low-odour versions without flushing out their machines. The ESL HPQ inks are available in CMYK, light cyan and light magenta colours along with a flush solution. They will be available in 440ml cartridges and one liter bottles for use with bulk ink supply systems, throughout North America.
