drupa 2012 : Inkjet and B2 Digital Trend

Water-based NanoInk is the foundation of the printing process. It is formulated with small polymer pigment particles in the 50- to 70-nanometer size range and is “ejected” onto a heated transfer blanket that evaporates the water and creates a thin ink film (500nm thick)—thinner than offset lithography. The nano-size pigments are said to be powerful absorbers of light and produce sharp dots, high image density and uniformity, abrasion resistance and a broad CMYK color gamut.
