Fujifilm has announced the UV LED Uvijet HZ, an ink for thermoforming applications that can be applied with Acuity Prime flatbed printers.

Stable colors
According to the manufacturer, Uvijet HZ ink guarantees “excellent dot rendering, consistent colors with exceptional adhesion and extensibility, and excellent quality for applications such as thermoforming, line bending and dome blowing.” Matthew Whiting explains: “Thermoforming should prevent the ink from cracking and flaking. Uvijet HZ inks are highly flexible and retain their superior quality through the thermoforming process to provide a beautiful finish.”
