LONG BEACH, Calif. – January 23, 2025 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, announced its Specialty Inks team is participating in the annual Impressions Expo Long Beach, a trade show focused on the imprinted and decorated apparel industry. Avient’s exhibit will honor the rich history of Avient Specialty Inks in the screen printing inks industry. It will highlight the progression from basic inks to the most cutting-edge products available today, such as bio-derived inks with 40-59% bio-content, energy-efficient inks that cure at lower temperatures (as low as 250°F compared to the traditional 320°F), and non-PVC inks.

"We’re thrilled to showcase our latest innovations at the Impressions Expo in Long Beach while honoring the legacies of our eight unique screen printing ink brands," said Tito Echiburu, General Manager of Avient Specialty Inks. “From basic white inks to brilliant, sustainable options, our team is committed to providing our customers the best products and services, and we are eager to continue sharing our latest advancements with the industry.”

Avient will showcase over 100 unique prints from Avient Specialty Inks brands, including Wilflex™, Rutland™, Printop™, QCM™, Zodiac™, MagnaColours™, Union Ink™, and Avient Specialty Inks, with a special focus on the following inks: 

• Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks: available in a white and base ink and created with 56-59% bio-derived content, Rutland Evolve Bio Plastisol Inks can reduce screen printers’ reliance on fossil fuel-based inks while offering a soft hand and a standard plastisol ink printing experience 
• MagnaPrint™ Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White: our groundbreaking water-based white ink created for digital hybrid printing, featuring a curing time that's half that of the leading competitor and eliminating the need for a topcoat
• QCM™ Wet-on-wet Xtreme Inks: 24 high opacity, bold inks created for wet-on-wet screen printing projects 
• Union Ink™ Unimix™: a flexible cure mixing system that offers 15 highly opaque, intense colors, enabling screen printers to achieve thousands of Pantone® colors that cure at temperatures as low as 270°F

The Avient Specialty Inks team will be at booth #2011 during the Impressions Expo in Long Beach, California, from January 23–25, 2025. Expert technical support, live printing demonstrations, and screen printing assistance will be available on-site.
