Flint Group Narrow Web has launched an upgraded version of CombiWhite, its over-printable opaque white rotary screen ink widely used in beverage, health and beauty, and no-label-look applications.
CombiWhite C3 is designed specifically for combination printing with all narrow web ink technologies and can be used on all types of substrates. Printers will experience perfect combination print results with virtually any print process such as UV flexo, UV offset, UV letterpress, UV screen, or water-based flexo.
‘A classification and labelling change led by REACH resulted in the group, as a responsible supplier, deciding we could no longer use N-vinyl caprolactam (NVC, CAS number 2235-00-9), in any of our products,’ said global product director, Jennifer Joyce. ‘While EuPia have initiated a prolonged substation process until March 2015, we are pleased to announce we are ready with re-formulation work and have had fifteen clients using the new product for well over 5 months; furthermore, we have not had one single negative report from any of these tests.’
Product manager, Par Olsso, added, ‘The whole aim with this reformulation is that no one should notice any difference between existing formulations and the new, upgraded, CombiWhite C3. It is one of those few cases where you are happy to hear there is no difference between the new product and the previous one.’
