HP wins award for PageWide true water-based inks

HP bags the 2019 InterTech Technology Award from Printing Industries of America (PIA) for technology innovation in PageWide true water-based inks. Judges noted that the HP PageWide true water-based inks deliver vibrant images on coated and uncoated corrugated boards and can be safely used for sensitive products and primary packaging with no need for any additional barrier, and have proven recyclability. Importantly, they said, there is no perceptible odour.

The HP PageWide digital corrugated press portfolio uses A30 Water-Based Ink for the PageWide T1100 series pre-print corrugated presses and CV150 Water-Based Ink for the HP PageWide C500 press for post-print. HP PageWide’s true water-based inks are free of UV reactive chemistries, offering converters many environmental benefits and the ability to produce more corrugated applications digitally. Additionally, HP PageWide inks have been verified for standard recyclability.
