INGEDE, the International Association of the Deinking Industry, found that KBA’s RotaJET is the first web-fed aqueous inkjet printing system to deliver good deinkable prints without pre-treatment.

According to an INGEDE press release "the RotaJET inkjet technology works with a polymer pigment ink, where the polymer stops the jettable fine pigments from bleeding into the fibres, collects them, and thus improves both brilliance and removability. An optional 'Control Fluid' improves the deinkability even further."  

Axel Fischer, chemist and INGEDE’s expert for recycling digital prints, says: “The recent developments are a nice acknowledgement for the consistent dialogue of the paper industry with the digital printer manufacturers which we lead for a couple of years now. They also show that it is actually possible to design inkjet prints in a way that they work well in the existing system of paper recycling. For the future, we can expect more positive development in this sector.”
