Michelman will spotlight a selection of water-based in-line and off-line primers, overprint varnishes and strengtheners for HP Indigo at Labelexpo Americas 2022. Michelman will also highlight its primer and overprint varnish portfolio for inkjet-based printing platforms.

Michelman’s solutions for HP Indigo LEP printing are developed in close collaboration with HP Indigo and are specifically designed for that platform. A full portfolio of DigiPrime primers optimizes print quality for labels and flexible packaging on a wide range of substrates for both in-line and off-line use, and DigiGuard water-based OPVs offer increased durability and protection, including for food contact applications. New to the lineup is DigiGuard Plus, a suite of strengtheners that adds increased water, thermal, chemical, and mechanical resistance to UV OPVs.

Michelman also develops solutions for high-speed inkjet, where offerings are focused primarily on folding carton, corrugated packaging, and commercial printing applications. This includes JetPrime water-based primers for both paper and film substrates, and DigiGuard IJ overprint coatings, which offer increased durability and faster drying times in a range of tailored surface finishes.
