Epson America Inc., Long Beach, Calif., USA, has announced a new contract-quality proofing system designed to improve how package designers and flexographic and gravure printing professionals produce packaging mock-ups and proofs. The Epson Stylus Pro WT7900 combines the world's first aqueous-based white ink printing technology with the company's latest high-resolution ink jet technology to produce a new way of printing with the color white on a broad range of substrates, including ink jet coated transparent and metallic films. Designed specifically for proofing flexographic and gravure print jobs that require the color white, the new proofing system incorporates Epson's UltraChrome HDR White Ink, a new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology that forces light to randomly scatter, producing the illusion of seeing the color white. This approach to producing the color white results in a very high white ink density, as well as the ability for custom white color toning. It also provides short-term color stability for mission-critical color proofing on a range of new substrates including ink jet coated transparent and metallic films. UltraChrome HDR White Ink is a safe, water-based resin particle that is void of any known carcinogens.
