Hubergroup Print Solutions expands its range of UV offset inks with the introduction of low-adhesion versions of its range NewVThe new low-adhesion variants allow for optimal print results even with varying paper qualities and high print speeds. These low-adhesion versions are now available for the NewV pack premium, NewV set LED, NewV pack MGA, and NewV poly MGA ink series.
Due to the increasing variation in paper qualities and higher printing speeds, Hubergroup has recently observed a growing demand for low-adhesion series. Lisa-Marie Spring, The SF/UV product manager at Hubergroup explains: “The term ‘tackiness’ refers to the adherence of a printing ink. While high tackiness offers advantages such as better ink transfer and dot gain, it can also cause so-called ‘detachment’ on sensitive papers or uncoated card stock, damaging the paper surface during the printing process. Low-tack inks are specifically designed to counteract this effect.”
Hubergroup developed low-tack versions of its NewV series. These offer the same rheological properties as the standard series while providing clear process advantages for printers working with varying paper qualities. They reduce paper tearing, ensure more uniform ink separation, minimize emulsion disturbance, and decrease the risk of delamination on multi-layer substrates, even when paper quality varies or printing speeds are very high. The result is greater overall process stability and consistently high print quality.
“With the new low-adhesion versions of our NewV series, we offer our customers reliable solutions that enable a smooth and efficient printing process, in line with current demands,” summarizes Lisa-Marie Spring.
