Kao's technology aids in the realization of printing that is in harmony with the planet and people's lives.
Kao's people and environmentally friendly printing materials propose further improvements to the value of digital printing, ideal for “small lot”, “variable” and “waste-free” printing.
Applying “dispersion technology” developed over many years through Kao's work in the development of detergents to pigment dispersion,
Kao has developed the pigment dispersants for inkjet with superior color developing properties and stability.
We are offering not only a pigment dispersant but also a water-based ink with harnessing these characteristics.
LUNAJET
Water-Based ink that is friendly to people and the planet
VOC-free design
High quality printing on a range of materials from paper to film materials
Boasting high strength while also being able to melt at low temperatures due to its precise molecular design, Kao's polyester resin is widely used as a binder for toners used in copiers and printers. We are offering not only a binder for toners but also a toner with making full use of these resin-like properties.
