Eco-Sustainable Pad Printing Ink
Incups GN Series passes the ISO cytoxicity test and complies with EuPIA.
Global printing industry supplier , has developed what it says is the most sustainable pad printing ink in its portfolio. The GN Series is the second addition to the company’s line-up of eco-sustainable inks.

Currently offered in 10 standard colors, the new GN series inks can adhere to a number of substrates including plastics, metals, wood, apparel and more. Compliant with the European Printing Ink Association (EuPIA) Ordinance on Materials and Articles (SR 817.023.21) in contact with food, the GN Series is safe for indirect food packaging. Since the ink follows the EuPIA exclusion list of raw materials, the GN Series can be shipped around the world safely as a non-hazardous item, saving companies on those shipping charges. A key approval process to pass was the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 10993-5:2009 in vitro cytotoxicity testing, which is one of the biological evaluation and screening tests that use tissue cells in vitro to observe the cell growth, reproduction, and morphological effects on medical products. Passing this ISO standard means the GN Series aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of promoting prosperity while protecting the planet.
Danver, Mass., based Inkcups is a leading supplier and manufacturer of digital inkjet equipment, pad printing equipment, laser platemakers and corresponding supplies, with direct sales, technical support and warehouse locations in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Hong Kong and other global locations. The new GN Series is currently available globally.
