Exhibiting for the first time at Drupa, the firm uses a “simple and flexible let down system” with self-curing resins to avoid migration. 
 
Imagico chief executive HK Momaya said: “The self-curing resins effectively lock in the polymeric photoinitiation system, and can significantly reduce the amount of free photoinitiator in the formula, a known cause of chemical migration in secondary food packaging.”
 
“This will enable small players to customise narrow web inks for their local or regional markets via the capability to meet local conditions by modifications of the key properties.”
 
The new product allows the change for the small to medium size ink producer to enter the challenging flexo ink market.
 
Besides this, the company is also showcasing its Imagisperse range of nano textile dye sublimation inkjet dispersions and inkjet UV LED masterbatches.
