Why is ECO Solvent Ink so special?
The benefits of eco-solvent printing
Eco-solvent inks have their colours suspended in a mild environmentally-friendly solvent, which means that the ink has virtually no odour as they don’t contain as many volatile organic compounds. They’ve been around since the early 2000s and originally were designed for general signage work.
Having less volatile organic compounds also means that the eco-solvent printing cartridges are not so damaging, or deteriorating, to your printer components and as such you won’t need to do full system cleans quite so often – although as with any type of printing you will need to do regular cleaning and maintenance of your printer from time to time.
Eco-solvent printing does require more heat in order to dry and this can affect the type of material you can print on.
