Konica Minolta has provided new hope for printers facing tightening European regulations with verified test results confirming its award-winning AccurioJet KM-1e series digital press technology fulfils future requirements covering mineral oil content far below guidelines for secondary food packaging.
Print companies are facing tightening European regulations – many now in force - that will adversely impact growing numbers of businesses unless they take action. Regulations covering mineral oils on packaging are also likely to become more restrictive in other countries. Therefore, I would urge companies to contact us so we can help them remain compliant with regulations that will tighten even further from next year.
