Overview

General-purpose water-based ink for paper

UniWet Hydra is a low-odour water-based flexo and gravure ink based on green chemistry, designed to dry quickly on the paper while remaining open for a longer duration on the printing machine.

It can be over-printed in line without smearing or scratching, gives good dry and wet rub when properly dried, and offers high colour strength with good transfer. Low foam generation and low surface tension make it suitable for fine printing.
