Virus has developed a range of water-based ink that utilise WOW technology, making wet on wet printing a possibility.
In July, at M&R’s headquarters, a team of virus technicians tested the wet on wet (four colour separation and spot colour) technique live in front of 150 printers, dealers and leaders of the printing industry.
The audience was fascinated by the fact that no flash units were actually mounted on the machines to dry between colours.
Virus technicians showed live that it’s possible to print wet on wet even eight colours in a row without drying in between with a perfect constant result with considerable advantages in terms of energy and down time saving together with a real productivity increment.
The WOW inks range is available in CMYK (ready to use inks) and clear base (to be pigmented) for half tones and vector prints, greatest simplicity for best results.
