Ashland offers a collection of UV and water based overprint varnishes developed for the most demanding digital print label applications. These products have been certified by the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) as part of their HP Indigo Over Print Varnish Performance Program.
PureRad and PureKote overprint varnishes offer improved adhesion to HP Indigo ink coupled with high-performance scratch and chemical resistance. The commercial offering includes two new products, PureRad 53830 high-gloss, heat-resistant OPV and PureRad 53860A high-gloss UV resistant OPV.
‘Ashland offers one of the broadest array of RIT-certified overprint varnishes for use with HP Indigo to meet the increasing manufacturing and application demands for digital printing and mass customization,’ said David Hatgas, global director, Packaging and Converting, Performance Materials.
The RIT/HP Indigo overprint varnish performance program enables manufacturers, suppliers and HP Indigo digital press owners to have both water-base and UV coatings evaluated with HP Indigo digital certified media.
