In the modern world of new technologies and the developed industry more and more the question on environment protection sharply starts to sound. Engineering procedure of many productions is not without waste, and furthermore non-polluting. In not to smaller degree it concerns also to the industry of the large-format digital press, in particular it сольвентного a segment. Manufacturers and users of ink try to balance in enough narrow niche as the price for a press end-product has already developed, and to lift it it is impossible, and the new legislation limits in use hard solvent cheap ink. Furthermore manufacturers have faced the second problem – Ecosolvent ink having remarkable properties in relation to ecology and environment: Absence of a smell, harmlessness of components, absence of harmful evaporations – have no sufficient adhesion and are in a greater degree suitable for use on the prepared materials – films with a cover or a vinyl fabric of the first-rate quality. However the market realities, especially become complicated conditions of the world financial and industrial crisis, the conditions and the manufacturer of advertising production dictate, in the conditions of financial crediting reduction is forced to search for ways of cost reduction of made production: to Save on consumables, the ventilating equipment, ink, additional profiling, thus the final client wishes to receive the same qualitative product, as before.
Before the manufacturer of the press there is a choice – or to print on expensive materials, with use of expensive ink, and thus to increase a transfer price, thereby narrowing a circle of clients because of dearness of an end item - or to pass to cheaper light, mild, I rub – Solvent ink which allow to use cheaper materials. It allows to lower the press cost price, but thus, ink, being more aggressive – reduce an economic life of printing heads and other components ink system, and harmful evaporations which are allocated at the press force to purchase also the expensive ventilating equipment which though facilitates a life of the printer all the same throws out a considerable quantity of poison gases because of what at the owner of the printing company, especially, in the conditions of more and more becoming tougher ecological legislation, can arise in environment and there are problems with services at supervision dignity-epidem. Many companies on production of ink for the digital press worldwide, having faced all these problems, have started to take steps on creation of new ink which could combine in it such factors as ecological safety, adhesion of ink to a wide spectrum of materials, and also wide color scope.
The following attempt to create ink meeting the above-stated requirements has undertaken companies Megaink which is at present absorbed by company INX, one year ago in assortment have appeared BIO light-solvent ink which are based on the components received at processing, Corn cultures. On ecological compatibility this ink almost corresponded to the European specifications on environment protection, however at insignificant heating (30-45 degrees on Celsius) necessary at the press of allocation of poison gases have reached level of use usual rigidly solvent blackened that has brought to nothing all attempts to present this ink as (BIO). Besides Adhesive properties of ink left much to be desired, printers have been compelled to lower speed of the press, to lower Ink Limit, to avoid banding, caused by insufficient adhesion of ink to a material.
Our company (Bordeaux Digital Printink) always aspires to be in tends of the market, therefore to working out of ecologically safe ink we have broken in 2004, and the first have let out Eco solvent ink on an open market, but by 2006 we have understood that the market demands to combine – ecological compatibility and profitability and high quality of adhesion. To department of scientifically research works there was a task in view to study available on the market and potentially possible solvents and adhesive materials and to deduce the formula which met all requirements, - it was a project reference mark named at us Green ink. Having studied properties of solvents, we have come to a conclusion that with the help, so-called biological solvents it is impossible to receive good adhesion, therefore we have stopped on inorganic solvents which on the ecological indicators did not differ at all from so-called – «BIO». But it possessed most the best adhesion, in times surpassing analogues from BIO selectors. And the first ink PgNr (Prime Green) – ink developed specially for printer Mimaki JV5 was born This ink is created on the basis of HAP Free materials, over quick-drying that allows to use on a maximum printer JV5 possibilities, Thanks to the improved adhesion the press on the cheapest Chinese materials and even on some kinds of plastic is possible. They almost have no a smell and at heating do not allocate a significant amount of harmful evaporations that relieves the holder of printing production of necessity of installation of expensive ventilation. And still, in the modern printing world sharply began to rise profiling and a printer reshaping under a certain kind blackened, more and more consumers wish to receive the qualitative economic decision, and thus not to muse about colour profiling , therefore this ink has been created also on the basis of technology Plug&Play that is – they can be mixed with original ink HS and thus the printer at all will not notice that it has started to print new ink as colours on 100 % of percent are identical to the original.
However in the course of finishing of ink on a test basis other feature of the printer has emerged, it has been developed so that to exclude possibility of use of open architecture of the printer – that is at use of jellied ink pressure in a head will debalance and air gets to system, many technical shifts lead to the short-term decision of a problem, therefore we had been developed system of continuous giving of ink (litre) and production of litre vacuum packages of ink which at use complete with system give 100 % excellent result and kilometres of kilometres of a quality printing is at present adjusted. Deliveries of such systems and packages in the Russian Federation it is planned for an early autumn of this year. However at all expenses for production ink is received though and is much cheaper original but nevertheless rather expensive, having devices JV5 – this price is comprehensible to clients, but there are also holders JV 33 for these devices which do not have in such high speed and difficult architecture, we develop ink PrMs – having wide colour scope, quick-drying, and almost flavorless and thus having adhesion peculiar to Light-Solvent ink. This ink is the excellent decision for users of printers JV33. Deliveries of this product have already begun. Thus, company Bordeaux Digital Printink at present is unique which has managed to solve a problem of creation of ecologically focused ink with the improved adhesion to a wide spectrum of materials under the price accessible to the consumer.
