Tampa, Florida - Ten Star Supply, Inc. of Tampa, Florida has converted their screen print inking systems from conventional solvent based inks to UV curable inks. This conversion to UV inks yields many benefits when compared to solvent based inks such as;

Fuji Sericol inks are designed for maximum adhesion and resistance to chemicals commonly used in Health and Beauty Products, Cleaning Products, Lubricating Products, and other general products. Fuji Sericol inks also exhibit excellent resistance to wear and tear.

Most recycling operations cope with contamination levels from ink and other substances of up to 5% by volume making Fuji Sericol inks used on plastic bottles well suited for recycling because of the high level of coverage per unit volume of ink.
