SRI has developed a family of water-soluble polymers and other chemistries for use with today's popular inkjet printers. Our solutions incorporate a diverse range of printing and coating technologies and market applications to offer manufacturers a low cost, high quality ink option.

Advantage
SRI's proprietary technology produces the most water-fast and rub-resistant inks available for inkjet printers today. Our inks can be tailored to fit the specific needs of individual clients.

A major supplier of address labels recently needed a solution to eliminate the risk of inkjet labels running when they came in contact with water. The company had introduced new paper products specifically for early inkjet printers, but could not keep pace with the market as new printers were introduced. For this manufacturer, SRI provided a range of advanced technologies that are currently being commercialized.

Opportunity
Using polymer chemistry formulations from its inkjet solutions, SRI has created opportunities of interest to peripheral manufacturers and others. These novel polymer and formulation concentrates have varied applications:

• Water-fast inkjet inks
• Water-based and water-fast flexograph and gravure inks
• Coated media for inkjet printing
• Coated media for conventional printing applications
• Press-size paper more suitable for inkjet printers
• Fabric and textile treatment for inkjet printing and conventional printing applications
• Coatings and inks for printing on polyethylene and polypropylene films
