Eliminating Odor Impact - By Using Eco-Friendly & Low Odor Inks

Preventing printing ink odor absorption to preserve product quality

Dairy products are highly sensitive to external odors and flavors. If ink or solvent fluids emit strong odors, they may contaminate the flavor of dairy products, leading to off-flavors or unpleasant tastes. Hitachi addresses this concern with eco-friendly, low-odor inks that preserve the taste and aroma of dairy goods. Our printing solutions ensure customer satisfaction by eliminating any risk of tainted flavors, providing dairy businesses with peace of mind, and maintaining the integrity of their products.
