For applications where the material is not a barrier, or set off is possible, we recommend the use of Low Migration inks; varnishes. Contact us for further details.
It must also be mentioned that the Printer/Converter and Packer/ Filler has legal responsibility to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation for food packaging.
The Digitech range of varnishes was initially designed for overprinting digital inks to offer increased resistance and adhesion properties on certain substrates. These included HP Indigo and Xerox iGen inks, but they have also been used over Xeikon, Epson, and Duplo inks, amongst others, with great success. Please contact our sales representative or the laboratory for advice on the best varnish to use for any particular application.
