Benefits
Printing on Non-Porous Substrates
Our ink for Konica Minolta printers enables printing on a wide range of base materials, including PVC, Teslin, Tyvek, synthetic and PP synthetic, and foil, without the need for pre-coating.
Dries fast
Kao Inks offer rapid curing or drying, which means you can send short-run jobs with limited turnaround times to the next production step immediately after printing. No waiting or hassles.
Light-fastness
Our curable, solvent and pigment inks offer superior lightfastness. The print stays vibrant, making them outstanding for signage and displays.
Sustainability
Kao promotes sustainability through our nanodispersion water-based pigment ink, LUNAJET, which is suitable for flexible packaging and thin films for food packaging. Also, our curable inks for Konica-Minolta have no VOC emissions.
