Heidelberg Australia/New Zealand Launches New Ink Range
08-03-2012
Customer uptake has been positive even before the ink hits
our shores
Heidelberg Australia/New Zealand (HAN) General Manager Consumables, Bill Wall, says the company's new range of Eco Inks, Saphira Excel, has experienced phenomenal success even before the tins have reached our shores.
"We have one major contract signed up already, after positive trials, and customers at our other trial sites are all keen to switch to Saphira Excel," Wall said.
"There's no better endorsement for a new product than a major player wanting to commit to it before stocks are even in our warehouse. I expect this ink range to make significant inroads into our market," Wall added.
The Saphira Excel Eco Ink range will be available from mid-March. Excel Ink is a colour intense, duct-fresh, very fast setting process ink series which lives up to its environmentally friendly name as it's manufactured from renewable raw materials.
The ink is ISO accredited, and due to its strong pigments can save up to 10% on general ink coverage for typical four-colour printed jobs. Combined with reduced ink usage, it requires less water and leads to quicker drying on straight-line or perfecting presses.
Saphira Excel is made in Europe and is the latest addition to Heidelberg's comprehensive consumables range.
