Marabu at the FESPA 2017 will be unveiling a new variety of inks designed for screen, digital and pad printing, plus liquid coatings for graphical and industrial applications. The new set of inks from the company will present advancements in ink technology for the efficient production of touch screens as well as recent additions to its portfolio, such as an exceptionally high-quality white within the Mara Jet DI-SX and DI-MS digital ink lines. There is also a pioneering product for pad printing: Tampa Tex TPX, with a remarkable range of applications.
Over the years, Marabu has continued to evolve both ink formulations and the printing process. For membrane switches, the company recommends the use of a combination of screen and digital printing, exploiting the advantages of both methods. In this instance, the PET material used to make the switch is decorated by digital printing using the Ultra Jet DUV-A ink system, which is also compatible with screen printing. This approach accelerates printer set-up, and enables short production runs and customisation of the individual switches for each print job.
