The Next Generation of VUTEk® Inks

VUTEk® Inc., the leading supplier of superwide format digital inkjet printers, has invested years of research and applications testing to develop the industry's purest and brightest inks for their printers. The result is a new generation of Enhanced UV inks that offer superior color gamut, matching ability and adhesion to difficult substrates, along with greater consistency from print to print. Unlike other printer manufacturers, the inks have been developed and optimized for the PressVu® UV family of flatbed printers to assure the highest performance and, ultimately, greater profits.

VUTEk®'s Enhanced UV inks provide a more consistent finish across deep hues and adhesion to difficult substrates such as untreated Styrene and Coroplast. In addition, the Enhanced UV inks provide a greater reduction in tire tracking (a common artifact when printing with UV curable ink), resulting in photo quality output. Enhanced UV inks are available in eight colors and currently available for shipment.

VUTEk® has also introduced a new Magenta ink called Greater Gamut Magenta, adding to the versatility of their UV flatbed printers. By extending the gamut, in the red color space only, you are assured the same reproducibility as with the existing Magenta and it enables you to achieve lighter/cleaner Reds. The Greater Gamut Magenta also allows the PressVu® UV printers to match even more Pantone colors and print nearly 20% faster in eight-color mode.
