In high-quality B2B label and packaging production, selecting the right UV Flexo ink is crucial, especially for EU export packaging. You need an ink that complies with strict safety standards while maximizing press and substrate performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Press Systems Group (PSG) introduces the UVAFLEX\u00ae Y80 Ink Series, a high-performance ink developed by our global partner, Zeller+Gmelin from Germany. This series is specifically engineered for UV flexographic printing on film and paper, meeting the rigorous demands of modern industrial printers. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Color Mixing Flexibility with <\/strong>
Mono Pigment Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The UVAFLEX\u00ae Y80 UV Flexo ink series offers a comprehensive color selection, including the 4 Colour Process, PANTONE\u00ae Base Colours, and Mono Pigment base colors formulated from a single, pure pigment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

To simplify color matching, PSG highly recommends utilizing the Mono Pigment base system (comprising 4 Process Colours and 9 Z Base Colours)<\/strong> as the standard for the UVAFLEX\u00ae Y80 ink series. Transitioning to these mono-pigmented bases reduces operational complexity, elevates production efficiency, and provides printers with significant competitive advantages:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

Color Accuracy and Brilliance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Formulated with a single, pure pigment, mixed formulas yield precise, vibrant, and brilliant shades, eliminating the \"muddy\" effect commonly seen when mixing multi-pigment inks.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

High Color Stability for Long Runs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Engineered for continuous, long-run printing, the Mono Pigment formula maintains exceptional stability, ensuring precise and reliable color consistency from the beginning of the roll to the very end.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Prevents Color Shifting (Metamerism)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Completely eliminates metamerism issues. Colors remain perfectly true and accurate without shifting under different lighting conditions or viewing angles, delivering a flawless visual appearance from every perspective.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lower Costs & Simplified Stock Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Eliminate the need to buy and inventory every ready-mixed ink color. By utilizing the foundational Mono Pigment colors, printers can mix any special shade internally, saving valuable warehouse space and preventing leftover ink waste.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Faster Turnaround Times<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Mix special colors on-demand for quick proofing and continuous printing. This avoids the long wait times associated with ordering custom ink formulations from the supplier, ensuring you always meet tight client deadlines.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
