With growing interest from the world\u2019s largest consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands for customer-engaging glow-in-the-dark (GID) inks on food and beverage packaging, Chromatic Technologies Inc. (CTI) introduces highly-anticipated water-based GID formulas for paper and film substrates.<\/p>\n
CTI\u2019s new water-based GID inks offer an alternative that\u2019s as easy to print and that glows as strongly as UV or solvent ink systems. A single print station with a 10-13 (BCM) anilox allows print operators to deliver the same glow strength as CTI\u2019s solvent-based GID ink. \u201cIt\u2019s a real break-through that converters have desired for years,\u201d says CTI Chief Technology Officer and Founder Lyle Small. \u201cConventional wisdom says that phosphorescent pigments and water-based vehicles don\u2019t go together very well. We are pleased to offer a product that goes against the conventional wisdom and performs so well,\u201d Small added. CTI\u2019s R&D team developed two formulas \u2013 one for paper substrates such as QSR cups and secondary packaging, and another for film substrates typically used in food package laminated structures. Both have great laydown and no \u201chard settling\u201d in the container when handling guidelines are followed. For a limited time, CTI will support press qualifications with free water-based GID ink for select customers. <\/p>\n
