Eco-solvent inkjet printers have emerged as the latest choice for printers.

Inkjet printing systems have become popular in the past decades because of the constant development of new printing methods as well as techniques that adapt to different materials.
In the early 2000 emerged the eco-solvent ink for inkjet printers. This eco-solvent ink was to replace lite-solvent (also called mild-solvent). The eco-solvent inks were developed in response to an industry demand for more operator and customer-friendly inks than the original "strong", "full" or "aggressive" solvent inks."

Solvent Inks
"Strong solvents" or "full solvents" ink refers to the oil-based solution that holds the pigment and resin. Have a high content of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which require ventilation and extraction to protect the printer operators, and many of them retain a distinctive lingering smell on the PVC or other substrate, which makes the images unsuited to indoor use where people will be near enough the signs to notice the smell.

ECO-Solvent Inks
"Eco-solvent" inks come from ether extracts taken from refined mineral oil, by contrast have a relatively low VOC content and are even usable in studio and office environments as long as there is adequate ventilation. They have little odour so they can normally be used with indoor graphics and signage. They chemicals don't attack the inkjet nozzles and components as aggressively as strong solvents, so they don't need such constant cleaning (though some printhead brands have issues with almost any and all ink.
Eco-solvent ink allows printing in enclosed spaces without the print technician running the risk of inhaling fumes as dangerous as those of full-strength traditional solvent ink; but don't get confused thinking this is eco-friendly ink because of the title. Sometimes low- or light-solvent terms are used to describe this ink type.

Eco-solvent inkjet printers have emerged as the latest choice for printers due to its environment-friendly features, the vibrancy of colours, durability of ink, and reduced total cost of ownership.
Eco-solvent printing has added benefits over solvent printing as they come with added enhancements. These enhancements include a wide colour gamut along with a quicker drying time. Eco-solvent machines have improved fixation of ink and are better at scratch and chemical resistance to achieve high-quality print.
Digital Eco-solvent printers have virtually no odour as they don't have as many chemical and organic compounds. Used for vinyl and flex printing, eco-solvent based fabric printing, SAV, PVC banner, backlit film, window film, etc. Eco- solvent printing machines are ecologically safe, used widely for indoor applications and the ink used is biodegradable. With the usage of eco-solvent inks, there is no damage to your printer components which saves you from doing the full system clean up so often and it also extends the lifespan of the printer. Eco-solvent inks help in reducing the cost for print output.
