Sun Chemical has inked a collaboration agreement with HP Indigo to develop cost-effective digital coatings that would enable the adoption of digital printing in the packaging industry. As one of the top global players in the package printing market, Sun Chemical’s work with HP Indigo, an instrumental player in the digital transformation of package printing, will lead to the development of a comprehensive range of digital coatings to support brand owners, converters and printers alike, said Sun Chemical. These coatings will include overprint varnishes and adhesives tailored to complement digital solutions.
