The use of ultraviolet light for curing flexo printing inks offers many advantages and has become widely adopted, particularly in the narrow web label printing industry. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are used to initiate the photochemical process, or UV curing, in inks, varnishes, and coatings. UV inks are made up of oligomers, monomers, pigments, additives, and photoinitiators. Eco-solvent inks have their colors suspended in mild, biodegradable solvents such as alcohols, glycol ethers, and lactates instead of ketones and other aggressive solvents. As they have little odor, they can normally be used with indoor graphics and signage.Bayscript® Yellow 4GF can be regarded as an industry benchmark due to its mutual compatibility with both UV- and eco-solvent ink systems.
