Stehlin fast dry ink set for Ipex

Stehlin Hostag Ink UK is to launch Rapid-A-More, a full-colour sheetfed ink that offers fast drying and high gloss, at Ipex.

A spokeswoman said that the ink's "superfast" drying capability would enable "immediate turning and post-print finishing".

It follows the launch of Sun Chemical's Liberty, a VOC-free ink that does not dry on-press and is ready for finishing within minutes.

"Ours emphasises fast drying and high gloss. Theirs [Sun's] has super-fast drying, but is formulated differently," said the spokeswoman.
