PARSIPPANY, NEW JERSEY—  Sun Chemical has launched SunPak PowerPace in North America, the newest generation of vegetable-oil based sheetfed offset process printing inks. These inks can reduce the time and number of sheets required to yield desired colours, resulting in less paperboard waste during and after printing. SunPak PowerPace inks are compatible with a wide range of paper stocks, including low integrity paperboard. Formulated to reduce delamination of clay coatings during high-speed print operations, these inks also help reduce the frequency of blanket washes. This new ink technology allows lower ink settings during the printing process, lending to higher print fidelity and a wider ink and water window. With 10-20% lower water settings needed during the lithographic process, SunPak PowerPace dries more rapidly than standard conventional sheetfed inks. SunPak PowerPace inks provide excellent results on all sheetfed presses but were specifically developed for the newest super high-speed printing machines, running at 21,000 iph+. The color strength of these inks has been optimized to provide enhanced mileage: SunPak PowerPace inks are ISO2846:1 compliant, supporting G7 requirements, and meet Graphic Measures International (GMI) standards. With high levels of bio-renewable materials and no environmentally problematic PTFE wax, SunPak PowerPace provides a more sustainable ink option for printers.
