    Features of ECO-UV inks The LEC-300A/330 uses ECO-UV inks. ECO-UV inks are fixed to the media instantly by ultraviolet light. This makes it possible to perform printing on media that is difficult to print using conventional inks. ECO-UV inks are available in a line-up of six colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, white, and gloss).
