hubergroup’s Advanced Resin Technology for Offset Inks

After intensive development work, hubergroup Print Solutions is launching the next generation of its conventional offset inks, featuring a completely new resin technology. 

The relaunch covers commercial and packaging ink series, including RESISTA, RAPIDA ECO, ECO-PERFECT-DRY, PACKAGING PLUS, MGA NATURA, and MGA CORONA.

The advanced formulation delivers measurable improvements in printing performance while maintaining consistently high print quality. Printing companies thus benefit from significantly fewer make-ready sheets, more consistent color reproduction, and a substantial reduction in misting. 

hubergroup will introduce the new resin technology across its entire global conventional offset portfolio during the first half of 2026. Product names and sales codes will remain unchanged, ensuring a smooth transition.

“An improved resin means an improved ink,” explains Richard Gill, Product Manager Sheetfed at hubergroup. “As we at hubergroup manufacture our own resins, we can tailor the formulation to precisely meet the performance characteristics we want. This capability enabled us to develop a perfectly aligned resin technology for our conventional offset inks.”

During extensive long‑term production testing, the advanced resin technology has demonstrated clear, quantifiable benefits such as:

• Measurable reduction in misting
• Wider water window for more stable printing
• Significantly lower dampening levels
• Fewer sheets required for on‑press adjustments
• Stable print density and consistent color results
• Consistently good post-print performance
