Domino Digital Printing Solutions has developed UV97BK, a new food packaging compliant UV-curable black ink for use with the K600i high resolution monochrome inkjet digital printer.

Under the right conditions, UV97BK is migration compliant. Developed in line with Nestlé’s guidance on food packaging inks and being fully compliant with the EuPIA exclusion policy, and EuPIA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), all materials used are listed on the Swiss Ordinance for Food Packaging Inks. It is a non-CMR ink and so, subject to migration status, can comply with the European Union plastic materials and articles intended to be in contact with food regulation.

Jim Orford, K series product manager at Domino, said, ‘I am pleased to introduce UV97BK that has been developed in response to customer demand for a non-CMR black ink that can be used for non-direct food packaging applications. This follows on from the successful introduction of a food packaging compliant full-colour ink set for use with our N610i digital label press.’
