Why NetLink offers
free advice
The graphic industry has long abused the use of carcinogenic components in their ink formulations to ensure adhesion to difficult substrates, specifically to plastics, which are widely used on advertising applications.
All of us who have been in the industry for a long time, have acquaintances who have died from cancer at too young an age for having been exposed to these harmful substances. We are the Market Expert and we want to share our expertise in memory of our lost friends.
Water
as the only path
The reality is, that many ink manufacturers do not yet comply with our strong European regulations to abandon the use of carcinogenic components, due to the difficulty of finding a replacement that equals the anchoring performance.
The reality also is, that no matter how safe we can formulate any type of ink, water-based inks will always be healthier.
And the reality finally is, that digital water-based inks are already here, they are suited and they are even cheaper.
SUITED
For all kind of materials including plastics such as PP/PET and glossy papers
CHEAPER
Due to their low ink consumption
BETTER
Due to their long-lasting performance which extends the printhead life
We need your help
There is still a lot of ignorance in the market. Many customers think that water-based inks are only suited for indoor applications and print only on paper.
We need more printing equipment that can offer versatile production with water-based inks so we can spread this new technology and make Europe the benchmark of the printing industry.
