Streamline sign ink introduced

One of the leading manufacturers of pigments and inks for the printing industry has launched a new range of high-quality inks.

Sun Chemical showcased its Streamline Optima HPQ series at FESPA 2013. Held at the London ExCel Centre, the three-day event attracted around 23,000 people, the majority of whom were involved in some way or another in the print or signage industries.

Established in 1945 and still based in New Jersey, USA, Sun Chemical encountered a receptive audience in London when it launched its new range of inks last month.

Streamline Optima HPQ is said to provide a superior quality of print for signwriters. Compatible with wide-format printers, such as the HP9000/1000, the Streamline Optima HPQ range matches the colour profiles of its predecessors, to ensure a consistent application. But the range benefits from improved overall quality, reduced overspray and a wider gamut of colours.

Adrian Clarke, director at PG Events, tested the new range of inks for Sun Chemical. He said: “We’ve been using the ink since March as part of the Optima HPQ beta trial and we’re very happy with the results.”

Here at The Sussex Sign Company, we welcome the introduction of the Streamline Optima HPQ range. Improvements to print technologies and inks continue to benefit signwriters.
