The addition of the Saphira series of ink makes it possible for users to acquire machine technology and consumables from a single source.
Both the 100 and 400 series are suitable for printing on paper, card/board, and non-absorbent materials, and also exhibits high-quality gloss properties and good screen dot quality. They also both enable printing to ISO 12647-2 (process standard for offset printing). Sheets printed with Saphira Ink LE UV are immediately ready for finishing because they are already dry on exiting the press.
Complementary consumables from the Saphira range, such as blankets, coatings, and washup and dampening solutions, are also available. Heidelberg will continue to expand and further develop this range alongside its LE UV technology.
