Marabu has pioneered a new jettable primer for the direct to object (DTO) printer market. Our jettable primer will eliminate the need to flame treat with Pyrosil and the use of wipe on primers. It can be primed and installed into inkjet DTO printers and be utilized as spot color to increase the adhesion of inks and varnish's. Our test results, show that it can increase the dishwasher testing for up to 200 washes on glass, plastic, aluminum and steel. This a monumental benefit for end-users running custom inkjet DTO solutions in the marketplace.

In all the years Media One has offered dye sub printed backlit fabrics- Naples is the the Best backlit we have ever offered
Agfa has formulated a general-purpose ink set, the Onset 560, uniquely developed for Onset print systems. This CMYK UV ink set was fully developed and produced in-house by Agfa using its extensive 20 years of experience in UV ink and quality control, guaranteeing excellent batch-to-batch consistency. This technologically advanced ink set pushes the innovation envelope providing customers with the lowest ink consumption and extreme quality output. The Onset 560 ink was developed with Agfa’s patented ‘Thin Ink‘ technology, which provides the look and feel of an offset sheet and reduces ink consumption by up to 20 percent compared to competitive systems. In addition to low ink consumption, the Onset 560 inks provide significant quality enhancements, including better dot gain control at lower curing power, providing sharper drop edges, and improved image detail rendering. High-quality print modes offer a more accurate dot placement and screening method, with improved resolution and enhanced smoothness of solid colors.
Another essential advancement is the enhanced color gamut of Onset 560 UV inks. Using the power of the Onset 560 gloss mode, users can match the Pantone 485C spot color on standard matte paper. This remarkable accomplishment was previously only achieved with solvent inkjet systems. Now PSPs can reliably meet Pantone 485C red color requirements of many popular brands. Refer to the attached gamut map.
The versatility of this general-purpose UV ink provides good adhesion, chemical, and abrasion resistance required for printing on a wide variety of rigid substrates for indoor and outdoor applications, including such challenging materials as polypropylene, styrene, acrylics, and others.
The Onset 560 inks have received the highest levels of certification within the GREENGUARD Gold program, meeting the world’s most rigorous chemical emissions standards to reduce indoor air pollution and the risk of chemical exposure. The GREENGUARD Gold standard includes health-based criteria for more than 360 VOCs. It requires lower total VOC emission levels to ensure that products are acceptable in sensitive indoor environments such as schools and healthcare facilities.
The Inca Onset has been pushing the boundaries of what is possible in print since its launch. This extremely high-speed page-wide flatbed inkjet printer, running on new Agfa inks, and driven by Agfa’s Asanti workflow software, is lowering the cost of print manufacturing and enhancing quality with new high-quality print modes and Agfa’s thin ink technology. The Onset X3HS is capable of 24/7 printing on a wide variety of substrates at production speeds of up to 15,000 ft²/h. Its impressive uptime is due to its 30-second job setup using robotics.
The Onset is available with several different automation options, from semi-automatic loading to full robotic automation. The latest automation solution, Dual Flex, is a unique, fully automatic solution that enables printers to transition seamlessly between lay table loading and dual robot automation. This solution provides the full capability to load and unload flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid sheets with a seamless switch from one operation to the other. Full automation is maximized with the dual robots, and this vacuum-to-vacuum transfer ensures precision handling, from the robotic arm pickup to placement on the print bed and stacking of the printed board. Load from a single stack to 1, 2 or 3-up on the vacuum table using the Load robot. Unload from the vacuum table to an uncollated stack using the Unload robot. Multiple stack pick capabilities are available as part of non-standard configuration options.
In full automation mode, the dual robots also offer an optional ‘flip to print’ mode – High Five – for front-to-back, double-sided print requirements without manual intervention.
New for 2023: North American made, Polar Grip Air is designed to create easy to apply, bubble-free signage and graphics that will stick. Polar Grip Air is an enhancement to the beloved Polar Grip film, with the new addition of an air release liner. Polar Grip Air is a 3.2 mil (80μ) premium, white polymeric self-adhesive PVC film with a high coat weight, permanent, pressure sensitive grey acrylic adhesive that is protected by a 90# white Kraft release paper with bubble-free technology which makes for an easy install. Polar Grip Air’s unique high bond adhesive is designed to stick to products with low surface energy, making it suitable for adhering graphics or decals to machine equipment, motorcycle helmets, Sintra®, smooth plastic substrates or coarse surfaces such as brick or concrete. Unlike most self-adhesive vinyls, Polar® Grip Air has a thicker adhesive layer that creates a tighter grip on porous materials. Compatible with (eco) solvent, latex and UV print technologies.
Polar® Blockout UV is an opaque printable block out film ideal for two-sided window graphics and other block out layer needs. To create eye-catching two-sided window graphics, simply combine Polar® Blockout UV with a reverse printed clear print media, such as Drytac SpotOn® Clear Gloss or ViziPrint® Impress Clear. Polar® Blockout UV’s high opacity prevents graphics from showing through on the other side when using as a cover up graphic or label. Compatible with UV print technologies.
