Like all Sun Chemical process inks in the Relay series, this black is in-line aqueous coatable, allowing it to run directly into an inline coater without extended dry time — enabling fast turnaround and immediate finishing. The ink sets quickly to a hard, rub-resistant film that holds up to mechanical stress in bindery operations, mailing, and distribution without scuffing or marking.

The Sun Relay Dense Black also supports a range of downstream finishing options, including off-line UV coating, lamination, and laser imprinting — making it a versatile choice for commercial printers producing direct mail, business forms, packaging, and marketing collateral that requires variable data or post-press personalization.

Features:
High optical density for deep, rich black reproduction
Excellent rub and abrasion resistance
Fast wet setting
In-line aqueous coatable
Off-line UV coatable
Laminatable
Laser imprintable
Extremely uniform ink film

**For any post printing processes an adequate ink drying time must be slowed

(minimum 48 hours) depending on ink coverage and type of stock. Each printing facility

should be fully tested on all inks and coatings under their own specific press conditions to

identify any limitations. For offline UV coatability it is strongly recommended an to use aqeuous

primer to be used over inks to help promote best results.

Press considerations

Plates should be tested prior to anypress or printing application to ensure they meet the specific production

requirements of each printing facility.

Intense Performs best on uncoated substrates and substrates that will receive inline or offline coating.

Performs well on uncoated stock on forms presses.
