Eco-Solvent Inks An alternative to regular solvent inks that are much less toxic. This quality is beneficial because it allows the inks to be used in smaller print shops without extensive ventilation.
Solvent Ink:
An ink formulated for inkjet printers, ideal for printing directly to vinyl and other plastics. The corrosive nature of the compounds "eat" into the surface of the substrate, securing the pigment or dye.
As a result, solvent inks are waterproof, scratch resistant, and fade proof, perfect for outdoor signage and billboard displays.
Solvent ink can also refer to any type of printer ink that is not water-based.
