Both products are aftermark inks that form part of the Streamline range to be showcased by the ink manufacturer at the show.

Tony Cox, Sun Chemical business manager, said: "Throughout this difficult economic period, we are starting to see an increased demand from our customers for inks such as ESL and Ultima.

"Companies are looking for a more cost-effective alternative that provides the same qualities and properties as the original manufacturer’s inks."

The range consists of high-quality solvent, oil and water-based inks, and the ESL inks have been developed for wide-format printers, in particular Roland printers.

They have technical and performance properties that match the original manufacturer's inks, such as its jetting properties and low energy consumption when drying.

The Ultima inks have been made for Mimaki JV33 wide-format printers and are also compatible with Mimaki SS21 inks.

They are non-flammable, non-hazardous, and Cox said they can provide customers with "significant cost savings".

Sun Chemical will be at Fespa Digital, which is held in Amsterdam on 12-14 May, in Hall 1, Stand A70.
