EFI ProGraphics XA High-Adhesion Ink Now Available For EFI Printers EFI ProGraphics XA high-adhesion ink – a versatile UV LED display graphics inkjet ink from Electronics For Im- aging, Inc. suitable for a wide range of rigid and flexible media – is now available for EFI Wide Format flatbed and hybrid roll/flatbed printers. ProGraphics XA ink delivers su- perior results on corrugated plastics and other substrates with adhesion challenges. EFI customer Kurt Kahmnke, owner of Fenton, Missou- ri-based Payler Signs & Graphics, has gained greater ad- hesion and durability on rigid substrate prints he produc- es on his company’s new EFI Pro 30h hybrid wide-format printer. The ink gives Payler Signs superior results com- pared to the UV inks the company uses on a flatbed inkjet printer. “We’ve tested prints produced with the ProGraphics XA ink in our EFI Pro 30h printer in a variety of modes on Coroplast, acrylic, aluminum composites and other chal- lenging materials by spraying them with water, leaving them outside in the heat, and stacking them ink side to ink side,” said Kahmnke. “We are very pleased with the ink’s adhesion, quality, and performance.” The ProGraphics XA ink does not chip during cutting when used on standard acrylic, corrugated plastic or other fluted polypropylene media. Plus, ProGraphics XA ink is flexible enough for 180-degree heat forming applications. Bringing this advanced ink to the EFI Pro 24f, Pro 30f, Pro 16h and Pro 30h wide-format printers gives sign and dis- play graphics operations more capabilities in the range of applications they offer to customers. “We are pleased to bring this exceptional high-adhe- sion ink to our Wide Format printer owners,” said Ken Ha- nulec, EFI’s VP of Worldwide Marketing. “We continually strive to increase the value of EFI investments, and now customers will have the benefit of ProGraphics XA ink’s versatility, durability and flexibility to extend the range of substrates and surfaces they can print on.” When purchasing an EFI Wide Format printer, custom- ers can choose the ProGraphics Series UV LED ink set that best meets their application needs. Other ProGraphics inks include: • EFI 3M ProGraphics UV LED ink for flexible applications, including those that need to be stretched or heated or require the 3M MCS Warranty • EFI ProGraphics UV LED POP ink for rigid board and flexible media printing of indoor and outdoor applica- tions • EFI ProGraphics UV LED Rigid ink provides the best surface mar resistance and is ideal for printing on spe- cialty rigid media, such as lenticular lenses, steel, alu- minum, and wood • EFI ProGraphics UV LED Ultra ink for a highly diverse range of flexible and rigid media applications Visit www.efi.com for more information.
