Sun Chemical has launched ElvaJet Onyx SB - a new sublimation ink for textile printing. ElvaJet Onyx SB addresses market needs by delivering a high-performance ink that offers ease of use for wide-format textile printers.
ElvaJet Onyx SB is designed to meet the market need for extended print runs between cleaning cycles, while the ink's simple conversion process allows for immediate printing and easy start-up before or between print jobs. The advanced formula leads to enhanced print performance ensuring maximum system up-time with little intervention needed. The ink range maintains Sun Chemical's trusted performance on a full range of transfer papers with superior edge definition and color transfer, while offering the deepest shade of black. ElvaJet Onyx SB is available in 1kg bottles and 2kg pouches to give printers maximum flexibility in conversion options.
With this product, Sun Chemical again affirms its commitment to innovation in the digital textile market, combining the expertise and knowledge of the R&D teams both in Sun Chemical's Textile Development Centre in Morges Switzerland and the digital inks development laboratories in Midsomer Norton, UK. The result is an advanced ink, tuned to meet customer demand for high color intensity and image sharpness, without any compromise on system performance and productivity.
