Flint Ink introduces new high-performance products

Flint Ink's North American Liquid Packaging Division recently introduced ARROWBOND ULTRA and STERLING, high-performance inks used on flexo flexo presses.

ARROWBOND ULTRA is a new generation of inks for compounding and shrinking sleeves. The ink has excellent performance and powerful functions and can be applied to multiple processes of flexo printing and gravure printing. Its unique chemical properties give it excellent printability, brilliant colors, extremely low solvent retention, and excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, including chemically treated PET. Sean Mikaelian, general manager of Flint Ink's North American liquid packaging division, said: "ARROWBOND ULTRA is designed to meet the highest requirements for printing materials and processing environments and can be applied to packaging products that require secondary heating, such as stand-up pouches."

STERLING is the latest achievement in the field of high-speed composite printing with the Flint Ink Digestive Fiber Compatible Ink System. Like ARROWBOND ULTRA, STERLING combines high concentration, excellent printing performance, very low solvent retention, vibrant colors and strong adhesion. Therefore, STERLING is the best choice for demanding nitro compounds.

Mr. Mikaelian said: “Customers say that speed is one of the most important factors in the printing process. The unique chemical properties of ARROWBOND ULTRA and STERLING ensure that the product maintains high performance at print speeds up to 2000 feet per minute.”
