Sun Chemical launches SunTex inks

At the recent FESPA Digital 2016, Sun Chemical presented the first worldwide showing of SunTex, its newly launched range of water-based inkjet inks developed to deliver optimum performance for digital textile and soft signage print applications. The new high performance SunTex portfolio, on display on the Sun Chemical stand featurd two ink ranges; SunTex Sonata a series of dye sublimation transfer inks and direct print dispersed inks for polyester and polyester-rich substrates; and SunTex Encore, a range of direct print pigment inks.

The SunTex Sonata series comprises a dye sublimation transfer family of inks, offering bright, vibrant colour and dense black reproduction, excellent transfer properties using low cost papers and delivers robust, durable print output with reliable and consistent jetting at high print speeds. SunTex Sonata also offers a disperse-dye direct print ink option with high penetration print delivering excellent ‘show-through’ for double sided output such as flags and banners. The high-rub resistance of the ink, its toughness and durability makes it particularly suitable to withstand the wear and tear of outdoor applications.
