PolyOne has announced the launch of non-phthalate Wilflex Epic Rio, a new colour mixing system for textile inks.
Based on cutting-edge pigment technology and formulated for excellent colour strength, these inks are Pantone approved and boast an excellent colour range of 18 finished mixing components. The end results are a perfect balance of colour accuracy, vibrancy and opacity for peak press performance and colour design.
As the most opaque colour system in the Wilflex range, Epic Rio maintains colour accuracy and flexibility, and can help screen printers save ink and money by achieving colour on press quicker, even with fine mesh-counts. The increased opacity of Epic Rio also offers greater processing flexibility with regard to mesh screen selection, print strokes and direct print capability, all while maintaining accuracy to Pantone colour standards.
Kevin Romine, Wilflex product manager, said: “Epic Rio’s colour matches to Pantone colour standards are spot on, and they stroke a perfect balance between colour deisgn because the increased colour accuracy and vibrancy add a significant wow factor.”
The inks are creamy and smooth right out of the bucket and remain that way throughout production runs. Press-ready Epic Rio inks also give consistent exceptional results for large or small runs.
Designed for ease of printing on a manual press without the tiring of the press operator, Epic Rio inks are also appropriate for larger production runs with an automatic press. They perform well over a wide range of mesh sizes and press parameters, so printability for either manual or automatic textile screen printing is outstanding.
