Ink Technology
Why Water-Based Latex Inks Change the Maths
The choice of ink technology affects every part of your operation, not just the print quality. HP Latex inks are water-based formulations containing latex polymer particles. The water evaporates during curing, leaving a dry, scratch-resistant print the moment it exits the printer. No outgassing. No odour. No HAPs.
Immediate finishing
Laminate, mount, or apply the moment the print exits. Eco-solvent prints require hours to overnight before finishing: that wait costs production capacity.
No ventilation requirement
Operates in a showroom, workshop, or shared office without ducting. Eco-solvent printers need ventilation recommendations as a minimum.
Opens interior & healthcare tenders
AgBB, French VOC A+, UL GREENGUARD Gold, and EPEAT certifications satisfy VOC compliance clauses in government, healthcare, and hospitality tenders that eco-solvent printers cannot.

ENERGY STAR
7 years
Outdoor durability on laminated 3M cast vinyl under 3M MCS Warranty. Equivalent to leading eco-solvent systems.
0 HAPs
No Hazardous Air Pollutants. HP Latex inks carry a clean bill of health that no eco-solvent or UV ink system can match.
Instant dry
Prints exit the machine cured and dry. Eco-solvent prints require a wait before lamination. At production volumes, that wait becomes a daily operational bottleneck.
Recyclable
Latex-printed paper and board remain fibre-recyclable. UV inks contaminate the fibre and prevent recycling, a growing compliance issue for retail and FMCG clients.
