Opportunities in Commercial Printing

With the growth of print-on-demand and personalized printing, the commercial segment has seen a trend towards digital printing utilizing the latest technology of the high-speed DOD-Inkjet web press.  This inkjet printing technology is capable of printing books, newspapers and direct mail campaigns.

Although inkjet commercial printing is still in its infancy, Cabot identifies it as a huge opportunity.  We are committed to aligning our technology, manufacturing and business strategies to support the long term growth of this market.

Key challenges for an inkjet ink formulator:

  • High quality, low cost inks.
  • Highly reliable inks at a high printing speed, duty cycle, and in an industrial environment.
  • High quality prints on various media including coated media.
  • Inks that are environmentally friendly.

CAB-O-JET® aqueous pigment dispersions are targeted at meeting the emerging needs of commercial inkjet printing. We are focused on providing dispersions that enable the inkjet ink formulator to develop an ink that addresses the challenges of this segment.

Current CAB-O-JET® products and R&D efforts are focused on providing dispersions that enable inks to:

  • Close the image quality gaps with offset printing.
  • Have reliability and stability for high speed commercial applications.
  • Produce prints that are durable and de-inkable in current paper recycling processes.
