ECKART Metallic Effects for the Printing Industry
ECKART is a German based market leader in the domain of metallic effects for the printing industry. We also produce glass and pearl effects with the support of our global distribution network. ECKART products are fixed companions in the printing industry for packaging premiumization and brand identification.
Compared to metallic alternatives, metallic inks have a lot of advantages for design, printing and application:
• Speed - High speed printing; >160 m/min or up to 15.000 sheets per hour
• Metallic area - Print on the spot, save resources, control cost
• CMYK inks - Use standard opacity inks to save cost
• Waste avoidance - Just ink, no further waste creation
• Color room - Silky smooth to mirror silver effects; easy to tint
• Machines - Use standard printing machine
• De-inkability - Comparable to standard inks; good to fair
• Logistics - Fast shipping
Even though Eckart is mainly an effect pigment producer, an offset and a flexo/gravure printing machine is available at Eckart to test new pigment and ink developments to achieve highest standards.
