MIDACURE® UV 42516 Series

Advancing Label & Packaging Printing MIDACURE® UV 42516 Series inks are specifically developed to expand market opportunities for narrow- and mid-web printers within the Label and Packaging industry. These inks are engineered with built-in performance properties that allow printers to achieve fine line screens and clean reverses using high LPI/low BCM anilox rolls, while significantly reducing ink film weight—delivering print quality that rivals offset and digital technologies. Additional benefits include excellent fusing adhesion to challenging film substrates, low viscosity with smooth, free-flowing rheology, low odor, and varnish-like gloss. The formulation minimizes or eliminates plate swelling and supports press speeds of up to 150 meters per minute. The MIDACURE® UV 42516 Series is also silicone- and wax-free. This formulation enhances trapping performance and supports hot stamping, thermal overprinting, lamination, and improved durability—maximizing natural bonding characteristics. Profitability Enhancement One of the most effective ways to reduce ink costs is by lowering overall ink consumption. The MIDACURE® UV 42516 Series enables printers to run thinner ink films, remix unused colors, increase press speeds, and reduce energy usage—resulting in measurable cost savings. Rather than cutting costs by lowering pigmentation levels or using lower-grade raw materials, these inks are designed to perform at extremely low film weights while maintaining high press speeds and superior print quality. By integrating MIDACURE® UV 42516 Series into your printing operations, you can achieve greater efficiency and improved profitability across your processes.
