SEPIAX "Direct;to-Anything" Water Based Resin Inks--Ten Facts

Graphics One has been offering SEPIAX Ink for a number of years now. In the next month we will have some exciting news regarding a new print-and-cut device which will feature the use of SEPIAX. We believe this will be a major new capability, for those who are doing garment transfers, especially for those who are concerned about using eco-solvent inks for doing garment transfers.

A recent article on solvent inks in Digital Output magazines stated, "one of the more intriguing terms used is eco-solvent ink. To most people, "eco" means ecological. But these inks generally contain glycol esters or glycol ether esters – both derived from mineral oil – hardly a renewable resource or an ecologically sound process." An overview of the Facts about SEPIAX ink is as follows:

Ten Facts about SEPIAX Ink:
1. Prints on virtually any substrate*
2. No substrate coating needed
3. Water based resin with exceptional pigment properties
4. Eco-friendly , non-toxic, non-flammable, odorless
5. Ink 30% -50% less for same coverage
6. Adhesion and durability rivaling eco-solvent
7. Outdoor durability up to three years
8. Clog reduced formula
9. Compatible with all EPSON piezo printheads
10. Not ordinary latex—It’s better.
*Substrate surface must be between 45C~55C
