Focus on Inks & Consumables
Dave Roper begins our focus on inks, films and consumables with a look at its range of Amex inks and emulsions which are not only eco-friendly, but vegan friendly to boot.
DAVE ROPER A growing trend in the print industry A
s you may know Dave Roper is all about being eco-friendly. However, what you may not know is that all of its Amex inks and emulsions are also vegan friendly.
The product line Dave Roper provides consists of multiple colours (plastisol and water-based) and three various emulsions, which are all free of any animal products or derivatives. The team has been asked a lot about this lately and it seems to be a growing trend in the print industry.
If you are looking for vegan friendly inks then head over to Dave Roperʼs website, into the supplies sections and youʼll find both Amex plastisol and water-based inks, as well as Amex emulsion. There has been no change to the formula of these products, they have been vegan friendly from the get-go. Being vegan friendly does not affect the fantastic characteristics of the products, the ink still provides a high opacity, good printability and a high washing resistance.
