New mineral oil-free ink from SunJet and Xaar addresses food contamination fears

Over the past few years there have been growing concerns regarding the contamination of food from inks used on secondary food packaging and the use of recycled packaging paperboard. The packaging industry is striving to avoid the use of materials and substances which contain mineral oil hydrocarbons.
