Just for info this is no longer a problem – the idea has been revered by the government so no need to worry 👍

Yes all of our inks are half the price of the OEM ink – what I am saying is that the GBL free product we offer costs the same as the one that contains GBL….it is no more expensive – both are half the price of the OEM 👍
Hope that make sense ?

HI Robert,
Our products are manufactured in Cheadle in Cheshire and sold all around the world. ( Digital Ink GB Ltd ) We offer products for solvent printers ( Such as Mimaki, Roland and Mutoh ) as well as coding and marking inks. We are also developing UV inks as we speak. The reason we came up with a GBL free solvent inks was actually nothing to do with the impending legislation. Some of the raw materials we use for making inks ran into to short supply during the multiple lockdowns of 2020 and as a contingency we came up with different formulations of these inks just incase we needed to use them. One of the formulations was GBL free. It turned out we never needed to use it but they are available have already been tested on these printers during 2020 and early 2021. Here are the answer to your questions
1) During in house testing using a Dr Honle light cabinet we saw no difference in UV life of the ink
2) If the end user is already using our inks they would be able to use the GBL free version alongside their current inks – no need for flushing or adjustments of any kind. It also mixes with OEM inks absolutely fine.
3) Outgassing time identical with our GBL free formulation
4) Our inks are around half the price of the OEM
5) We have not had to adjust profiles either – the formulation gives an identical result
6) The products are filtered in a way that means they are no more likely to block your print heads than OEM inks
We are awaiting to see the outcome with the home office but should we need to do it for UK customers we can supply a GBL free products whenever we like.

I really wouldn’t worry, this legislation is going to be reversed before it ever happens.
If not then ink manufacturers, Like the one I work for Digital Ink GB, already have formulations of their inks that are GBL free.
We can already supply all Mimaki, Roland and Mutoh solvent printers with ‘GBL free’ ink if we need to.
We have had these formulations ready for almost a year. we can supply them anytime If we need to. 👍

It is nice to hear you are satisfied with our efforts – We are aware that there are lots of places you can go to buy similar products to ours so we like to think that if we offer good customer service along with a competitive price it will retain your custom! 🙂

Nice to see so many positive comments about Eco-Pro inks & Granthams on here. The product is now well established in the UK. Other contracts where the ink is being used include work for Addidas, Warburtons & Morrisons with some of our large volume users making savings as high as £9000 per year on ink costs.

Just to clear up the comment from Nicola. She is referring to a Colorific Product for her HP9000 printer which we no longer sell. It was a good ink but the chips were unreliable.

Yeah no problem – the cost will be the same for the GBL free product should it ever be launched. It now looks like that won’t be the case. 👍
