The chemicals giant will also use the September show to release an innovation for the UV flexo market.

Sun Chemical says that it has established itself in the narrow-web market with the Solaris range of inks and coatings for narrow-web printers and its new products will build on that foundation, helping printers and brand owners improve their productivity and efficiency.

The Solaris product line includes inks that make labels stand out by being specially formulated to meet the needs of customers. The inks can be paired with coatings that add such effects as gloss, matt and chemical resistance.

The full range includes products for virtually all narrow web-printing processes, including UV flexo, water-based flexo, screen whites and colours, and letterpress and lithography, said Sun.

Jonathan Sexton, Sun Chemical Europe's business manager for narrow-web labels, says: 'We are pleased with the response to our Solaris range since its launch at the last Labelexpo Europe.

"The range has brought to the narrow-web market important benefits that include faster cure speeds, low press room and cured print odour, lower humidity sensitivity and improved adhesion and resistance and we will be revealing a number of unique and innovative products specifically designed for the narrow-web market at Labelexpo 2007."
