Marabu, a global manufacturer of liquid coatings and screen, digital, and pad inks, is set to present its current portfolio of screen, digital, and pad printing inks, and other new products, at FESPA 2018, Europe’s largest exhibition for the wide format print industry, which will be held from May 15 to 18, 2018, in Berlin, Germany, in stand B30, hall 1.2.

The company will also show a number of digital printing solutions, including its versatile new GBL-free solvent-based inks and an expanded range of UV-curable inkjet products. Moreover, it will spotlight the advantages of digital water-based options.

Marabu will be showing two ink ranges for diverse glass applications. The single-component Mara Tech MGO baking ink is ideal for glass, screen, and pad printing on metal where high resistance to chemicals is crucial. Marabu will also spotlight its two-component Mara Glass MGLA. This ink was developed for second surfaces on flat glass items, for example smartphones, input systems (touch panels), and outdoor user interfaces.

Mara Panel MPA, a new range of specialty decorative inks, that features an outstanding opaque white, plus a deep, non-conductive black developed for printing on the back (second surface) of popular PMMA or PC plastics, will also be displayed.

Product safety is the top priority at Marabu. This year, for instance, the company is launching a new generation of GBL-free solvent-based inks for digital printing in wide formats. Marabu customers will be able to choose between existing solutions and new, highly versatile GBL-free versions.

Marabu’s UV-curable inkjet inks will also be a part of the show. The display includes flexible Ultra Jet DUV-A inks for wide formats, and the Ultra Jet DUV-C range for printing directly on flat glass and on containers made from glass or PET. There is also an alternative line of inks for Océ Arizona printers, Ultra Jet DUV-GR, plus LED-curable Ultra Jet DLE-A products.

Moreover, Marabu’s UV-curable portfolio now includes two new lines: Ultra Jet DUV-MF is very versatile, and was developed especially for wide-format graphical applications. These products belong to a new generation of highly reactive inks that enhance roll-to-roll and hybrid printer productivity. Furthermore, Marabu has a new specialty ink for both indoor and outdoor POP/POS applications. It features an especially glossy finish and a wide colour gamut. (GK)
