MIMAKI Europe, a leading provider of industrial inkjet printers and cutting plotters, will debut yet another world-first, market innovation at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 – all new MIMAKI ELH and ELS UV ink range. These new inks have been formulated to be completely free of SVHC and, uniquely, CMR, therefore reducing the impact on human health and the environment. In line with MIMAKI’s unwavering commitment to bring innovations to market that support a more sustainable future, its new ELH and ELS UV inks meet an urgent need for SVHC- (Substances of Very High Concern) free measures throughout the industry.
As pressure to restrict the use of inks and printed materials containing SVHC continues to increase, MIMAKI has taken the trailblazing decision to develop a range of inks that are not only SVHC-free but also do not use CMR (Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, and Reproductive toxicants), which are known to have adverse effects on human health. Additionally, the odour emitted when using ELH and ELS inks is reduced by approximately 30 percent compared to conventional UV inks, providing a more comfortable working environment. Additionally, the new ELH inks maintain the same high scratch resistance as the conventional LH-100, while the ELS inks provide the same flexibility as the conventional LUS-120. The ELH and ELS inks are scheduled for release after June 2025.
