Hello my name is Eyal Duzy. I am the inks segment manager at HP Scitex. We are launching
here at SGIA a new ink, FB225, which is best in class in terms of media spread, and more
specifically with its adhesion to plastics. We are testing it according to ASTM standard,
which comes from the metal coating industry, and we actually let our customers try it by
themselves and do it as I’m going to show you now. I have this tool, which I use to
do the cross hatch. I do it in one direction, and then I’m going the other direction.
Now I’m using this special tape to make sure that no ink is peeled off. You need to
use this roller here to make sure that the tape adheres to the opposite surface. Now
let’s see what’s going on. Voila. No ink peeled off, which means 5B levels, best in
class adhesion. Not only this ink adheres well to plastics like this, like polystyrone,
it is also GREENGUARD certified and this is actually the only UV curable ink in our market
segment which is GREENGUARD certified which is another proof to the great work that was
done in order to tune it for indoors environments.
