[Lineup of exhibits]
At the coming IPEX, the Toyo Ink Group will undertake product and corporate promotion activities targeting the European market, with “Feel the Evolution” as the main theme.
The following summarizes the major products to be exhibited at the Toyo Ink Group booth in IPEX 2010.
TOYO KING Hy-Unity™ NEO ERP TOYO KING NEX™ NV100 Vegetable oil-based sheet-fed offset inks
TOYO KING Hy-Unity NEO ERP is a general-purpose, sheet-fed offset ink that is compliant with ISO 2846-1, boasting high concentration and mileage, and is mainly sold in high-end markets.
Positioned at the heart of Toyo Ink’s range of sheet-fed inks, the TOYO KING NEX NV100 Series is a product less reliant on petrochemicals that uses only vegetable oils instead of petroleum-based solvents, which contribute to global warming.
TOYO KING Hy-Unity™ SOY Kaleido™ Superior color-rendering sheet-fed offset inks
The Kaleido Ink series, part of Toyo Ink’s range of superior color-rendering solutions, is capable of reproducing a range of colors that would be impossible using regular process inks, without resorting to six- or seven-color printing, and covers the vast majority of the Adobe RGB color gamut.
FLASH DRY™ Series UV curable offset inks
Toyo Ink’s FLASH DRY Series of UV curable inks are cured instantly when exposed to UV light, forming a tough ink coating.
The full range consists of the FLASH DRY KTNX Series, which enables superior curing and a high gloss finish for paper-based packaging and the highly adhesive FLASH DRY O NEW HF1 Series for plastic packaging etc.
FLASH DRY™ HS Series FLASH DRY™ LED Series Energy-saving UV curable inks
These are a new type of environmentally conscious UV curable inks that are more sensitive to UV light, making it possible to reduce energy consumption for UV irradiation during the curing process.
The Toyo Ink booth will be showcasing the FLASH DRY HS Series, which enables users to reduce irradiated UV (i.e. drying energy) by between 1/4 and 1/2 compared to normal levels, and the FLASH DRY LED Series, which is compatible with LED UV light sources (enabling a reduction of 1/4).
LIOVALUE™ AQUA LIONA™ Lamination ink for soft packaging
Compatible with a wide variety of base materials (films), Toyo Ink has a range of lamination ink products to suit any purpose, including heat resistant and environmentally friendly inks.
At IPEX, Toyo Ink will be showcasing its high quality LIOVALUE solvent-based gravure inks for retort pouch food packaging, and AQUA LIONA water-based flexographic inks, which offer increased productivity whilst keeping environmental impact to an absolute minimum.
TOMOFLEX™ Series Dry laminating adhesives
Toyo Ink’s adhesive technology plays a supporting role in people’s everyday lives, including products such as laminating adhesives designed for various different purposes.
Although the Toyo Ink booth will also feature TM-250HV, which offers outstanding coatability, content resistance and heat resistance and is ideal for high-temperature retort (up to 135°C) products, Toyo Ink can also supply a wide range of other adhesives to suit users’ performance specifications.
T-Press™ LIOJET™ Series Inkjet inks
The LIOJET Series of pigment-based inkjet inks combines Toyo Ink’s pigment and dispersal technology.
The Toyo Ink booth will also be showcasing the T-Press LIOJET Series (aqueous/UV curable) of POD inkjet inks for wide ranging purposes such as commercial printing, direct mail and label printing.
Dynagrand™ REXALPHA™ Specialty chemicals products
The booth will showcase important recent products as specialty chemical products resulting from the evolution/deployment of manufacturing technologies for varied printing materials, including printing inks. Dynagrand is an adhesive suitable for harsh environments, such as solar battery back-sheets, featuring excellent durability and humidity resistance. REXALPHA is a conductive silver paste produced by stably dispersing specially processed silver particulates in resin. It is used for printing for flexible electronic circuits and electrodes.
[Promotion for each area in the world]
Along with a presentation of products, the Toyo Ink Group will advertise a specific business plan in Europe. Having direct sales locations in Belgium and France, the Toyo Ink Group is currently building a Partners’ Network, an agency network expanding into other EU areas, Eastern Europe and Russia.
The Toyo Ink Group booth will become a more substantial information transmission space than ever based on the idea that network partners (agencies) will show Toyo Ink products to their accounts and markets and also conduct business negotiations.
In addition, the Toyo Ink Group will provide information for other areas, including Asia and Africa, given that IPEX is not limited to the United Kingdom or Europe but serves as an international exhibition.
Above all, the focus is on India: a special counter for visitors from India (India Counter) will be set up as India is enjoying rapidly growing expectations as an emerging country. The staff from TOYO INK INDIA PVT. LTD., Toyo Ink Group’s base in India, will carefully showcase the diverse products and services to be provided in India.
