Proposition 65 Compliant Pad Printing & Screen Printing Inks - SAPPHIRE from Inkcups Now

Answering to the recent additions to California Proposition 65, Inkcups Now Corporation offers Sapphire line of screen printing / pad printing inks that comply with California Proposition 65 as well as European EN 71 Toy Safety standards. To replace industry standard ink for polypropylene – Poly-All, which has become illegal to use on products made in or shipped to California – Inkcups Now puts forward Sapphire DP series ink for polypropylene. As an additional benefit, DP series eliminates the need to pre-treat surfaces as this ink has excellent adhesion to untreated polypropylene. And for companies that require printing at even higher safety standards, Inkcups Now provides Class VI Sapphire MB and J3 series. These medical grade inks are formulated for printing on syringes, auto-suture, medical packaging and other products that contact with human body or drugs.

California Proposition 65 (Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) contains the list of chemicals that, when used in consumer products in the state of California, must be clearly marked as causing certain diseases or birth defects. “We believe that the growing public demand for chemical safety is justified so a responsible, forward-looking company cannot disregard it,” says Ben Adner, Inkcups Now president. “Promotional products companies operating in California found themselves in a tough situation. They have to comply with new regulations as soon as possible. And we have all the solutions they need.”
