Following testing, Xennia's new Xenjet Vivide range of CMYK pigmented UV-cure inks have been approved by Xaar for use with its Omnidot 760 greyscale printheads.

The inks offer outstanding jetting, colour and mechanical properties, and when used in conjunction with Xaar's Omnidot 760 printheads they are suitable for a range of flexible graphics, packaging and label substrates.

Xenjet Vivide UV cure inks are the first Xennia inks to be approved by Xaar under a new ink partnership, building on the existing preferred integrator relationship between the two companies.

Further inks for Xaar printheads are planned for launch by Xennia during this year.

Dr Jill Woods, Xaar's ink product manager, commented: "This latest announcement is testimony to our combined expertise, the new series of UV-cure inks push the boundaries of process colour inkjet performance on non-porous materials." Vivide inks are optimised for colour gamut and vibrancy, speed of cure and low odour, it is claimed.

The cured inks demonstrate adhesion and durability on many substrates, together with chemical, abrasion, temperature resistance and UV light-fastness.

Nick Balon, chief operating officer of Xennia added: "We see UV cure inkjet inks as the future for many print applications, such as narrow web packaging and labels or indoor graphics, thanks to their combination of jetting reliability, image quality, instant dry time and environmental acceptability.

Vivide inks, in conjunction with Xaar Omnidot printheads, move the technology another step forward.".
