hubergroup expands UV offset portfolio with low tack ink grade
hubergroup Print Solutions is expanding its UV offset ink range – NewV – with new low tack ink version, enabling optimal print results even with fluctuating paper qualities and at high printing speeds.
hubergroup introduces new low tack ink to optimize print results.
Low-tack versions are now available for the ink series NewV pack premium, NewV set LED, NewV pack MGA, and NewV poly MGA.
“Tack” refers to the stickiness of a printing ink. While high tack offers advantages such as improved ink transfer and dot gain, it can also cause “picking” on sensitive papers or uncoated board, that is damage on the paper surface during the printing process. Low‑tack inks are specifically designed to counteract this effect.
The low-tack version of NewV series offer the same rheological properties as the standard series, while delivering clear process advantages for printers dealing with fluctuating paper qualities.
They reduce paper tear‑out, ensure more uniform ink separation, minimize emulsion disruption, and lower the risk of delamination on multi‑layer substrates – even when paper quality varies or printing speeds are very high. The result is increased overall process stability and consistently high print quality.
