Eco solvent and eco-UV inks - In focus

Rob Goleniowski, Business Manager - Sign & Graphics at Roland DG UK highlights the importance of using the right equipment and effective eco-solvent and eco-UV inks to better increase your output workflow.

Roland DG prides itself on being at the forefront of ink technology and has designed a range of inks to enhance the performance of Roland printers and thus deliver greater flexibility and creativity to users. We have seen a lot of innovation in the ink sector in recent years and this is particularly true for Roland. For example, we introduced the world's first eco-solvent white and metallic Eco-Sol Max ink which was a big step forward in terms of enabling printers to widen their application possibilities, enter new markets and charge a higher price for their output. We are continuously developing and researching to add ink products that continue to meet the needs of our customers.

Roland inks fall into two categories, Eco-Sol Max and Eco UV, both of which deliver colour-rich finishes to all print jobs. Our Eco-Sol Max range of inks is specifically designed for Roland's VersaSTUDIO, VersaCAMM, VersaArt and SolJet Pro 3 ranges of inkjet printers and printer/cutters. Roland also recently launched the Eco-Sol Max 2 set of inks for our new, flagship SolJet Pro 4 XR-640 wide-format inkjet printer/ cutter which includes a light black ink for better reproduction of vivid grey colour gradients and more natural skin tones. Of key importance to us is developing a product that offers the most versatility to our users, which is why the Eco-Sol Max range is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, comprises a wide colour spectrum including white and metallic, and boasts quick drying times to aid productivity. They are also incredibly durable - the CMYK and metallic inks are water and UV resistant for up to 3 years.

Roland's Eco-UV range is for use with our VersaUV machines. Users have the flexibility of choosing from two different formulations.
