The blend of solvents in Suncure EC OEM Wash delivers excellent ink-cutting ability, breaking down cured and uncured energy curable inks quickly and thoroughly. Unlike some press washes that leave behind an oily residue that can interfere with subsequent print jobs or ink adhesion, Suncure EC OEM Wash evaporates cleanly and leaves press surfaces ready for the next run. It also provides the corrosion protection required for FOGRA approval, protecting metal components in the dampening and ink systems from oxidation and long-term wear.

EPDM-safe formulation ensures compatibility with the rubber components commonly found in manroland and Heidelberg EC press configurations, where EPDM rollers and seals are standard.

Features:
FOGRA-approved for energy curable press applications
Approved for manroland and Heidelberg EC presses
Excellent ink-cutting ability
No oily residue
EPDM safe
Required corrosion protection for FOGRA compliance
Flash point: 141°F (61°C)

Application Directions:
Use straight (neat) — no dilution required.
Hand wash: Generously coat cloth or rag and wipe surface until clean.
Rollers: Apply directly into the roller train, allow the mixture to loosen ink, then engage the wash-up blade until all residues are removed.

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

Please contact your local Sun Chemical representative for SAP numbers.

**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.

Fast Wash II is engineered for quick evaporation, allowing press operators to complete wash-up cycles rapidly and get presses back into production with minimal downtime. Its balanced solvent blend provides powerful cleaning action while remaining safe for use on conventional rubber and UV-compatible roller compounds. The formula cuts through dried ink and emulsified ink-water mixtures, leaving blankets and rollers clean and ready for the next job.

Key features include fast flash-off time to minimize press downtime, effective removal of oil-based and hybrid inks, safe compatibility with standard press rubber compounds, and excellent performance across sheetfed and web offset applications. Available in multiple package sizes including gallon jugs and 5-gallon pails, Rycoline Fast Wash II is a trusted choice for print shops requiring a reliable, efficient blanket and roller hand wash solution.

KB-3027 is built on a high-solids formula (91–93%) that minimizes show-through and provides excellent coverage with minimal coating weight. Its non-yellowing chemistry ensures that whites and light colors retain their brightness over time, making it an ideal choice for premium packaging, marketing collateral, annual reports, and commercial print applications where color integrity is critical.

The oxidative dry mechanism allows the varnish to cure in 2–3 hours at 0.5 mil film thickness on glass, enabling fast turnaround on press and efficient bindery scheduling. The varnish is rated non-imprintable, providing a consistent surface that resists subsequent printing or writing — ideal for finished goods that do not require post-printing personalization.

Non-yellowing formula
High solids content (91–93%)
Excellent oxidative dry
Non-imprintable surface
Tack: 9.0–10.0 @ 1200 RPM/1 minute
Inkometer Stability: 0.3–0.8 typical tack rise per minute for 5 minutes

Effective blanket and roller cleaning is essential for maintaining consistent print quality on offset presses. Ink residue, paper fiber, and coating buildup on blankets and rollers cause hickeys, mottle, ink transfer problems, and streaking if not removed regularly. Rycoline MagniTek Y-891 WM cuts through dried ink and accumulated debris quickly, restoring clean roller and blanket surfaces between runs and reducing the number of wasted sheets needed to achieve a clean impression at the start of each job.

Y-891 WM is suitable for use on rubber rollers, composition rollers, and offset blankets across a wide range of offset press makes and models. As with all press washes, always follow press manufacturer guidelines and safety data sheet instructions when using Y-891 WM. Contact us for pricing on larger volumes or to discuss your shop’s press wash requirements.
