NUtec Digital Ink has announced that its Quartz Q50-HYB UV-curable hybrid ink has achieved GREENGUARD Gold Certification, reinforcing the manufacturer’s commitment to high-performance ink solutions that meet internationally recognised indoor air quality standards. GREENGUARD Gold is a leading product emissions certification that verifies products have been independently tested for low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. These strict limits help improve indoor air quality, making certified products suitable for sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail spaces and public buildings.
For print service providers, this certification provides added confidence when producing graphics, décor, signage and other indoor applications. It offers independent assurance that the cured ink meets rigorous chemical emissions criteria, supporting compliance with increasingly demanding environmental and building specifications.
Quartz Q50-HYB combines this environmental credential with the performance expected from the Quartz range, delivering excellent adhesion across rigid and flexible substrates, vibrant colour reproduction, strong durability and reliable jetting in demanding production environments.
As sustainability becomes increasingly important in purchasing decisions, certifications like GREENGUARD Gold provide valuable third-party validation of responsible manufacturing without compromising print quality or productivity.
“This achievement reflects NUtec’s ongoing commitment to innovation and the strength of our ink development capabilities,” says NUtec Head of Sales and Marketing, Darren Claassens. “Our focus remains on engineering solutions that not only deliver outstanding performance but also meet the evolving environmental expectations of our customers and their end users.”
