Thanks to extensive research work, the international printing ink manufacturer hubergroup has succeeded in launching a particularly fast-drying and environmentally friendly ink series on the market: Eco-Perfect-Dry.
The Cradle to Cradle silver-certified sheetfed offset inks, which enable rapid further processing of the printed product, are ideal for commercial printing.
For the development of the globally available ink series, the hubergroup carried out extensive series of tests to optimise the drying process. To this end, the printing ink specialist worked together with the German company Onlineprinters to analyse the processes in practice.
„First of all, it was important for us to understand exactly what interaction exists between the drying parameters and the drying performance - we therefore speak of Drying kinetics. Thanks to these findings, Eco-Perfect-Dry has a unique drying speed and helps printers to speed up their processes.“

The hubergroup also attached particular importance to the environmental friendliness of the colour series. For this reason, Eco-Perfect-Dry is not only free of cobalt and mineral oil, but also has an optimised CO2 balance. This makes the Cradle to Cradle Silver-certified printing ink ideal for environmentally conscious companies.
