Reducing the environmental and health concerns of printing means the finished product can be displayed anywhere, including healthcare and office environments.

DURABLE AND RESISTANT

Latex ink does have different life spans dependant on the material and whether it is located indoors or outdoors. However, latex printing is scratch and abrasion resistant, as well as water and chemical resistant to different levels.

HIGH QUALITY PRINT AT HIGH SPEEDS

Latex printing has been found to be a great solution for its quality, durability and ease of use. Even though it is one of the newest ink technologies available, all of the limitations such as high-temperature drying and poor scratch-resistance have been overcome.
