With a focus on digital solutions designed to elevate product innovation and efficiency across the print and graphics markets, Sun Chemical highlighted its full digital portfolio that enables customers to achieve new levels of productivity, quality and sustainability.
The company presented its comprehensive portfolio of solutions for graphics, textiles and industrial print applications under the theme ‘Experience. Transformation.’ at PRINTING United Expo 2025 during October.
Wide Format and Super Wide Format Graphics
Sun Chemical featured a range of wide format digital inks engineered for image quality, versatility and durability. Offerings to view at the show featured Sun Chemical’s Streamline ink series, including eco-solvent and aqueous ink solutions:
Streamline Toccata aqueous inks for poster printing and corrugated display applications offer a sustainable water-based ink technology with high colour strength and fast drying. Newly launched in 2025, this was the first showcase of the technology in the U.S.
The Streamline range of eco-solvent inks were also on display, offering low-odour and GREENGUARD Gold certification, with updates to the Streamline ESL 2 and Ultima inks highlighted for compatibility with Epson i3200 and Brother printheads.
Sun Chemical also presented new UV ink technology for low viscosity printheads, such as the Epson i3200. Adding to Sun Chemical’s UV technology portfolio, this ink range included CMYK, white and varnish and is a low viscosity formula that requires no heating within the printer. Targeting graphics and UV direct-to-film (DTF) markets, Sun Chemical invited customers interested in the technology to discuss options during the exhibition.
