Roland UV EUV ink has a "dangerous" rating?

[mkmie]

Received the below email this morning. The machine that uses this ink is not our primary printer but handy for a few applications. I do not use after-market inks.
Do you think this is just a sales pitch by Digiprint or will I be having trouble getting OEM ink for the UV printer?

Could be flammability

The official end of life for the Roland LEJ-640FT, which uses this ink, is October 2025. So, according to Roland's policy, the ink should be available until then.

Perhaps they changed insurance policies and this was the only product that tipped the scales to the next tier? If that is the case, they are being pretty shady, trying to frighten someone into buying the last of their stock up...

I may be wrong but at least on our Lef-20 some of the older inks were hazmat as they were corrosive. The newer inks are not so they are easier ship.

The older inks adhered better to certain things like glass though and you didn't have to use adhesion promoter.

We were using the older but finally switched to the newer mainly because shipping was easier.

This is sketchy. I use those inks in the new LEC2-300 ((the even newer LEC2-330 I believe can use the Eco uv4 and Eco uv5 inks)
