EFI launches XA high adhesion ink

EFI has launched ProGraphics XA high-adhesion ink, which the company says is a versatile UV LED display graphics inkjet ink suitable for a wide range of rigid and flexible media including corrugated plastics and other substrates with adhesion challenges.

It is now available for EFI Wide Format flatbed and hybrid roll/flatbed printers. EFI says ProGraphics XA ink does not chip during cutting when used on standard acrylic, corrugated plastic or other fluted polypropylene media. ProGraphics XA ink is also flexible enough for 180-degree heat forming applications.

EFI says bringing this advanced ink to the EFI Pro 24f, Pro 30f, Pro 16h and Pro 30h wide-format printers gives sign and display graphics operations more capabilities in the range of applications they offer to customers.

“We are pleased to bring this exceptional high-adhesion ink to our Wide Format printer owners,” said Ken Hanulec, EFI’s vice president of worldwide marketing. “We continually strive to increase the value of EFI investments, and now customers will have the benefit of ProGraphics XA ink’s versatility, durability and flexibility to extend the range of substrates and surfaces they can print on.”

EFI offers various UV LED inks for its printers according to application, including 3M and its own POP, Rigid and Ultra inks.
