This company has developed two new series of low-energy, UV-curable offset inks under its FLASH DRY^™ brand: the FLASH DRY LPC EX for ozone-free curing systems and the FLASH DRY LED EX for LED-UV curing systems. The two new products will initially be launched to the Japan market in October, with a phased rollout to other regions planned.

Both product series reportedly offer an expanded color gamut, high transparency, and high gloss compared with conventional UV inks, allowing a level of color reproduction comparable to oil-based inks. These advances reportedly were achieved by Toyo Ink’s adoption of a specialty pigment and fundamental change in pigment dispersion method.
