Sihl introduces media designed for HP latex inks

Sihl AG develops new media for HP latex ink, designed to reduce the adverse health and environmental impact of printing with solvent inks. The Germany-based company has developed new wet-strength poster papers that can be used with eco-friendlier latex inks and the HP Design-Jet Latex printer series (L65500, L25500, LX600 and LX800). 
 
The multi-purpose Post-2-Cure Papers (125, 180 and blueback 125) linked to HP’s new latex inks and print technology enable digital service providers to produce weather and water resistant prints compatible with results from real solvent inks. This new technology is an important development landmark for the digital imaging print market. The challenge has been to deliver an alternative technology alongside UV curing. These wet-strength, bright white poster papers are particularly recommended for the billboard sector.
