Plymouth, MI USA – In its continuing quest to bring solutions to the pressroom, Flint Group has launched top-quality, earth-friendly inks and a new low-dosing, one-step fountain solution.

Arrowstar® 8041 inks contain less than 3% VOCs—among the lowest VOC levels available today. The ink series earned a bio-renewable content (BRC) index of 70 from the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM) and are EcoLogo™-certified to “Printing Inks CCD-040”.

K+E® Novavit® F 928 PRIME PROTECT BIO inks offer very fast oxidative drying and are highly rub resistant—ideal for printers with demanding, high-end jobs that require post-print processing. These color-intense inks offer top-quality performance on straight-line printing and on perfecting presses.
