Abstract: A method for removing solidified ink or varnish from a surface includes applying a cleaning agent to the ink on the surface. The cleaning agent applied to the ink on the surface is substantially solvent-free and water-based and reduces adhesion between the ink and the surface without dissolving the ink. An adhesive side or face of a single-sided or single face adhesive element is applied to the surface. As the adhesive element is removed from the surface, the ink that has been treated with the cleaning agent but is undissolved adheres to the adhesive element and is thus removed from the surface together with the adhesive element without splitting.

Abstract: A fast-curing UV inkjet ink is based on hyperbranched polyester acrylates. The ink contains the following components: 1 wt % to 20 wt % of at least one hyperbranched polyester acrylate having a functionality in the range from 6 to 30, 1 wt % to 30 wt % of at least one reactive diluent, 1 wt % to 20 wt % of at least one free-radical photoinitiator of the Norrish I type, 30 wt % to 70 wt % of at least one multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer, and 0 wt % to 30 wt % of at least one monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer. The ink is particularly suited for inkjet printing and it is used in an inkjet printing process.
