Sun Chemical and Onlineprinters Drive Offset Print Innovation with SunLit ProPace

Sun Chemical has entered a smart collaboration with Onlineprinters to join in the development and utilization of the Sunlit Propace ink range, sheetfed vegetable oil-related process ink operated on the companys PACE technology platform. The platform is engineered to fuel productivity and accelerate key credentials in sustainability for the non-food packaging, printing, and commercial publication sectors. The Onlineprinters, with its headquarters in Germany, operates in the most favorable production setting in the industry, with clients demanding superior quality print at a quick turnaround rate. This has led to integrated advancement in the packaging sector. At the same time, Sun Chemical establishes the product with the help of on-site technical support and consistent troubleshooting methods.

The partnership will benefit both companies by leading them to new opportunities for growth and effectiveness, jointly contributing to the overall pace of the packaging line. The potential of online printers, along with the process confidence and execution of Sun Chemical, will strongly drive development and advancement in their respective fields and industries.

The SunLit ProPace range is implemented throughout the Onlineprinters production site in Germany. The usage was indulged in consistent consultation sessions with Onlineprinters to effectively match the durability (operation), drying requirements, and print quality bar in accordance with its operations.

The divisional manager, offset printing at Onlineprinters, Stefan Hagen, said, “Sun Chemicals inks are ideal for our stringent production needs, but mainly the company has presented itself to be a reliable and active responsive partner. Our partnership is beyond the products that Sun Chemical supplies to us; its about joint transparency, adaptability, and problem-solving.”

Hagen further added, “The Company is serious and values the specific suppliers who know the depth of the realities of its workflow, where several jobs are out every day, and a disinterest or discontinuity can have an adverse effect. Sun Chemical has identified the issues involving rub and misting resistance and is working to bring color balance with the inks established over time, related to volume on feedback.”

“We think its a long-running partnership. Sun Chemical introduces product performance as well as integrity, willingness, and responsiveness to accelerate with us as per the market demands.”

The product director, sheetfed systems at Sun Chemical, James Buchanan, said,

“Our collaboration with Onlineprinters is an example of the kind of customer relationship we look up to for forward-thinking, grounded, and transparency in the real-world performance.”
