Water-based Ink Offers Outdoor UV Performance and Eliminates Steaming and Washing

Charleston, SC – March 23, 2010 – Sawgrass Technologies Industrial Division, the world leader in the development of innovative solutions for wide format digital printing, announced today the release of MxF, a revolutionary digital ink solution for printing on nylon.  An environmentally friendly, water-based ink, MxF ink offers outdoor superior UV performance, brilliant color, and great productivity to the flag and banner industry.  

For digital printers of nylon flags who utilize acid dye digital printing process, MxF ink provides a faster production process and lower production costs. Unlike acid dyes, MxF ink requires no post-print steaming or washing while providing superior color and outdoor image durability.  With the lower production requirements, MxF also offers lower maintenance costs, less energy consumption, faster turn around and little or no clean up.

For Flag Printers & Print Service Providers who currently offer polyester flags printed with dye sublimation or wish to add nylon flags and banners capability, MxF increases revenue by expanding capabilities and new market opportunities.  Unlike dye sublimation inks, MxF Direct provides superior outdoor UV performance on industry preferable nylon flag substrates without steaming & washing equipment.  MxF reduces equipment investment, maintenance, and space requirements for anyone looking to add nylon flag and banner printing to their portfolio.

“MxF opens a whole new world of opportunity for the flag and banner industry,” said Peter Valinski, Sales Director for the Sawgrass industrial Division. “It delivers to our customers the brilliant color that they have come to expect from Sawgrass with the UV performance and faster production that impact their bottom line.”  

In conjunction with the release of MxF inks, Glaser Mills has announced the availability of complementary MxF nylon fabrics. MxF nylon textiles will provide optimal image quality and vibrancy in combination with MxF inks from Sawgrass.

The Sawgrass Industrial Division will offer MxF at the International Sign Expo, April 8-10 in Booth 1744. For more information or for a free sample, please visit www.sawgrassink.com, call 800-537-1196 or email lfsales@sawgrassink.com.
