Sun Chemical has announced the launch of SunLit OptiPace, an evolution of the Pace technology platform for high-performance sheetfed offset printing. Building on SunLit ProPace, OptiPace is the second new addition to the Pace platform.
With SunLit OptiPace, Sun Chemical enhances the Pace foundation by incorporating improved pigmentation for higher color strength, greater durability, and reduced ink consumption. Printers value reduced misting, lower dampening requirements, faster make-ready times, and stable color performance at high speeds. Following ProPace, OptiPace further improves color intensity, efficiency, and print stability. Key features include superior print fidelity; low tack, making the ink well-suited for lower-quality and lightweight substrates; and Pace technology’s ability to reduce the water content in the ink by 10 to 20 percent.
James Buchanan, Product Director for Sheetfed Systems at Sun Chemical, commented: “ProPace demonstrated the strength of the Pace platform and has become our best-selling sheetfed offset ink series worldwide. With OptiPace, we are not taking a first step, but rather advancing an already proven platform to the next generation. OptiPace offers bolder colors, lower consumption, and the same print stability, drying performance, and sustainability that have made Pace technology so successful among printers globally.“
