SEPIAX Ink Technology has announced the launch of the AQ160 printer, specifically designed to run the latest generation, V3, of the SEPIAX Aquares inks, and strengthens the distribution partnership with Reprographic Technology International. The EcoPrint show to be unveiled in Berlin from September 26-27, 2012 will stage this purpose-built roll-to-roll printer, the AQ160, to exploit the capabilities of the Sepiax Aquares range of ink.
Following the success of the HP latex printers, the industry is seeing a shift to “green” solutions and a greater awareness of the impact on the environment of harmful solvents, non-recyclable materials and excessive power consumption. Major manufacturers are starting to consider the introduction of their versions of water-based, multipurpose, ink. For example, Mimaki launched the LX400 at Fespa in February of this year.
