This year, Marabu presented at the FESPA novelties in screen and pad printing inks as well as digital printing inks and liquid coatings on two stands. „We experienced strong interest in our product solutions from a lot of visitors from all over the world. FESPA has once again opened up a platform for us to exchange experiences with clients and partners and to discuss new business opportunities“, summarizes Jon Bultemeyer, Marabu’s Managing Director of Corporate Central Functions and ESMA Chairman. In the liquid coatings sector, Marabu highlighted the booth with two products: Marashield WA-FXG and Marashield UV-CBG. Marashield WA-FXG is a product to fully preserve metallic effects by not interfering with the brilliance while concurrently providing excellent mechanic abrasion resistance. The water-based product was shown live on the Star Lam 1.6 coating over PVC-foil which was previously printed with MaraJet DI-JVP Silver 191 on the Eckart GmbH booth. Another highlight was displayed at the HP booth. The company coated live with high-gloss Marashield UV-CBG on a Bürkle roller coating machine. UV-CBG is suitable for finishing corrugated board or cardboard for high quality POS applications. Focusing on the issue of versatility while operating solvent free, the digital booth presented the water-based ink MaquaJet DA-E live on a Roland RE-640. The environmentally attractive and user-friendly ink can be applied on thin and sensitive substrates. In the “Innovation Zone”, further emphasis was placed on a UV-curable inkjet ink for high speed direct printing onto glass and PET-bottles having been presented for the first time. Finally, new acid and dispersion inks were shown for textile printing with industrial Seiko, Ricoh, and Kyocera print heads.
