A commercially-proven water-based flexographic ink for paper printing
The AQUANTUM ULTRA PRO system is a water-based flexo ink that provides superior strength, exceptional press stability, and clean, sharp process and line work. These inks require little to no press side maintenance.
AQUANTUM ULTRA PRO system is formulated to be used primarily on paper and paperboard substrates as these inks will likely have poor adhesion and scratch resistance on most films. This system is offered in two strength levels, ULTRA PRO 250 and ULTRA PRO 350. Finish inks are available or offered as a dispensing system comprised of BSX color bases and technical varnish.
The offered product portfolio is augmented by additional products such as opaque whites, metallic inks, etc.
