Nazdar 708 series, a UV-LED ink series that is plug-and-play for Mimaki UCJV300 and UCJV150 printers
Nazdar Ink Technologies has announced the launch of the 708 Series, a UV-LED ink series that is plug-and-play for Mimaki UCJV300 and UCJV150 printers using LUS170 Series. 708 Series is the first of a three-ink collection, which will include additional plug-and-play offerings for Mimaki LUS120 and LUS150. Announcements regarding these additional inks will follow in the coming months.
These new 708 Series inks are said to offer exceptional compatibility, quality, and cost-effectiveness, combined with a seamless conversion process. Closely colour-matched and chemically-compatible with the original inks, users can save both time and money by switching one colour at a time. Flushing, purging, or re-profiling is not necessary when transitioning due to the accurate colour reproduction capabilities of the ink set.
On the introduction of the new inks, Josh Lutz, Market Segment manager, UV Inkjet Inks at Nazdar Ink Technologies, says, “Nazdar UV inkjet ink users worldwide continue to benefit greatly from the high quality and consistency of our inks. Our new plug-and-play compatible inks continue to meet the needs of our partners in the market.”
With manufacturing facilities in the United States and Great Britain, Nazdar offers its customers worldwide the most comprehensive selection of UV, water- and solvent-based inkjet inks, screen printing inks, and flexographic inks available in the market. Whether printing indoor or outdoor applications, on paper, plastics, metal, glass, or containers and packaging, there’s a Nazdar ink for every job.
2023 promises an interesting ride for print in India
Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and
multi-channel IPPGroup. While the print and packaging industries have been resilient in the past 33 months since the pandemic lockdown of 25 March 2020, the commercial printing and newspaper industries have yet to recover their pre-Covid trajectory.
The fragmented commercial printing industry faces substantial challenges as does the newspaper industry.
While digital short-run printing and the signage industry seem to be recovering a bit faster, ultimately
their growth will also be moderated by the progress of the overall economy. On the other hand book
printing exports are doing well but they too face several supply-chain and logistics challenges.
The price of publication papers including newsprint has been high in the past year while availability is diminished by several mills shutting down their publication paper and newsprint machines in the past four years. Indian paper mills are also exporting many types of paper and have raised prices for Indian printers. To some extent, this has helped in the recovery of the digital printing industry with its on-demand short-run and low-wastage paradigm.
Ultimately digital print and other digital channels will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future. For instance, there is no alternative to a rise in textbook consumption but this segment will only reach normality in the next financial year beginning on 1 April 2023.
Thus while the new normal is a moving target and many commercial printers look to diversification, we believe that our target audiences may shift and change. Like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.
Our 2023 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock and reconnect with your potential markets and customers. Print is the glue for the growth of liberal education, new industry, and an emerging economy. We seek your participation in what promises to be an interesting ride.
