ECKART America Corporation highlights new inks

Tuesday 02. September 2014 - ECKART America Corporation (booth 5703) is pleased to introduce its new line of ROTOSTAR UV LED inks and its ROTOSTAR UV Shrink Sleeve Gold ink at Labelexpo Americas 2014. These inks were created to complement its existing range of ROSTSTAR UV flexo inks for the narrow web and mid-web markets.

With ROTOSTAR UV LED inks, printers with LED capabilities can incorporate metallic inks as part of their product offerings and design capabilities to brand owners.
ROTOSTAR UV LED inks are easy to handle and demonstrate optimal press performance – excellent cure, good trapping and low foaming, while displaying a significant level of brilliance and opacity.
ECKART’s ROSTOSTAR UV LED flexo silver and golds are the new standards in metallic inks for the emerging LED technology.
ECKART’s ROTOSTAR UV Shrink Gold ink is based on a true bronze pigment that allows for cleaner, more vibrant metallic gold effects that maintain their brilliance even after going through the film shrinking process. ROTOSTAR UV Shrink Gold has excellent brilliance, coverage and is designed for printing on PVC, Pet-G and OPS shrink substrates. Specifically designed for shrink sleeve applications, printers can create metallic decorative effects in-line as part of the printing process, offering economic advantageous versus other types of decorating technologies.
ECKART is a leading supplier of metallic inks and pigments for the graphic arts industry, serving a variety of markets, including labels – pressure sensitive, wraps around and wet glue; flexible packaging – films, shrink sleeves and pouches and folding cartons. ECAKRT will be showcasing its decorative “foil effect” inks- ULTRASTAR, PLATINSTAR, ROTOSTAR, and JETFLUID, as cost effective printed alternatives to metalized substrates and foil stamping.
