The HYDRO-X components are oriented to the respective application:

HYDRO-WELL POST: Specifically developed for preprinting and postprinting corrugated in order to combine calm vignetted halftones and solids, dot-sharp prints, brilliant colours and high opacity with perfect printability.

HYDRO-TOP: The high-end product for high-quality packaging that also meets stringent quality requirements. Excellent application characteristics and stability in the printing process are guaranteed, as is satisfaction on the part of packaging customers. Even proprietary article manufacturers are highly impressed.
HYDRO-LAC: Stands for the full diversity of coatings, such as high-gloss coatings, matt coatings, special-effect coatings or functional coatings for all types of application and substrate.
HYDRO-XTRA: These are the gold and silver inks, metallic inks and special-effect inks from the world of HYDRO-X.
HYDRO-LOVE: Service packages which, as CORE SERVICES, SERVICE PLUS or INDIVIDUAL SERVICES, are tailor-made for each requirement and ensure that the right course is set even before the print run is started.

The new HYDRO-X ink system fulfils every wish your customers from the packaging segment may dream up. The perfect solution is guaranteed every time, whatever the job and whichever substrate is involved. This can be a high-gloss finish on coated papers, a sophisticated design in preprint or flawless printing on particularly absorbent materials.
