Sun Chemical inks experience

[Dani Plotter]

Hi all

People from Sun Chemical are offering to us their inks for Vutek, Scitex and EFI machines (UV and solvent). I would like to know your experience with these inks in your machines. Do you recommend it? Whats about curation and grip? The print heads are runing ok with them?

Thank You in advance!

got sun chemical inks too on cube IP&I ,(uv)
works great less smell, but printing on plexi has to have a good curing.
no problems

we run sun chemical inks on our mimaki jv3 , and no problems. ( hard solvent )

sun makes ink for a lot of OEM's. It is very reliable ink.

Reliable, somewhat. They have been known to have some widespread bad batches of magenta over 2009. Quite risky but do work well otherwise.

Hi all there, I just wanted to know how to contact sun chemicals for inks I am based in India and my printer is IP&I Cube from Korea
Now this Korean company has stopped OEM partnership with Sun Chemicals and is supplying cheap Chinese inks which very very messy inks.

I'll second that. Magenta clogging, though serious, was my only complaint.

I would look into sericol, too.
