We have modified the format of our Quality Control reports.
The aim is to improve their readability and tighten up our QC even more.
This change also paves the way for the future rewriting of our safety data sheets (relating to the REACH standard and CLP labels system) and underlines our commitment to offering even more services to our clients.
So, these digital monitoring reports (in PDF format), will soon be available:
-sent out automatically by e-mail, associated with the product batch numbers which are shown on your delivery slips, when these are printed.
-and via download, in your personal “Encres Dubuit” area
…all of this being completely automated.
These services will be accessible to clients upon request.

Our company is considerate of constantly improving its offering for products and services.
As you probably know, regulations on chemical products continuously evolve and strengthen themselves.
This notably concerns photo-initiators. These molecules are used in UV inks only, in order to initiate the polymerisation (curing) of the printed ink layer (chemical reaction only induced by UV exposure).
In order not to subject our customers to a change of labels in terms of risk and safety, we decided to anticipate the fact that one photo-initiator frequently used in our productions will soon be classified CMR (Carcinogenic, matugenic, reprotoxic).
We carry out a gradual update of our formulas. These updates will take place over the next few months, along with a change of the corresponding Material Safety Data Sheet. You can consult the updated MSDS on our website www.edubuit.com/msds
