ROCHESTER . NEW YORK—  Kodak introduces EKTACOLOR Inks and  OPTIMAX Primers. Using Kodak's proprietary pigment micro-milling process, which creates extremely fine nanoparticle pigments with a very narrow size distribution. The finer pigments make the ink easier to jet, reduce light scatter, and deliver ultra-thin dried ink layers as well as a superior colour gamut. EKTACOLOR and KODACHROME Inks is lower levels of humectants compared to inks from other vendors. Faster drying, even with high ink coverage on difficult substrates. The inks contain no volatile organic compound (VOCs). Kodak has launched a range of KODAK OPTIMAX Primers. Printers can avoid using expensive inkjet-treated papers and other specialty substrates. OPTIMAX Primers improve ink receptivity, ink adhesion, rub resistance, and image quality across a huge variety of substrates, including paper, cardboard, plastic, film, and even metalized materials. In addition, OPTIMAX Primers facilitate the recyclability of printed products by improving deinkability.
