Sun Chemical launches ElvaJet Topaz SC – a new sublimation ink for digital textile production

Friday 01. April 2022 - Built on a deep understanding of the textile and sublimation industry and experience in digital printing, Sun Chemicals new ElvaJet Topaz SC sublimation ink delivers easy ink and system management for printers in the sector.

The new solution increases the ease of use and on printer experience by enlarging the ink operating window for accurate jetting performance. This enables wider cross system compatibility delivering outstanding reliability and reducing the reliance on waveform. At the same time, it provides increased image quality with optimized jetting performance across all drop sizes, allowing any design to be printed without compromise. With careful focus on the jetting behavior, Sun Chemical has designed ElvaJet Topaz SC to have superior drop control at the different available drop sizes on the full range of Kyocera printheads ensuring that it is easier to use day in, day out.
In addition to the ease of use for the operator, ElvaJet Topaz SC has high color release from coated and uncoated transfer papers helping reduce waste through lower ink consumption and less color remaining on the paper after transfer. ElvaJet Topaz SC is certified for Eco-Passport by OEKOTEX with no restrictions, meaning any fabric printed with Topaz SC does not need to be re-tested for compliance to the OekoTex Class 100 standard.
