The inks also have improved physical properties, improved gloss finish, better scratch, chemical, solvent and hardness resistance, better elasticity and the finish product also benefits from improved strength. They are also more durable and weather resistant, and offer an increased resistance to fading making them ideal for outdoor signage. The process is also more cost-effective – more products can be printed in less time, at a better quality and with fewer rejections. The lack of VOCs emitted almost means there is less damage to the environment and the practice is more sustainable.
