Domino Printing Science says the launch of its BK107 ethanol-based black ink presents a lower cost of ownership for users of its G-Series range of thermal ink jet (TIJ) printers, by presenting a number of cost saving features.
The new BK107 ink comprises a host of benefits suited specifically to coding and marking applications within the confectionery and food markets, the Cambridge-based company says, with: “Exceptional adhesion properties and delivering the highest quality print for greater contrast and readability.”
Alan Mutch, product manager - TIJ at Domino, said: “Choosing the right ink for your application is essential, as the choice of ink affects not only the quality of printed output, but also the performance of the printer.”
Developed by Domino’s in-house team of chemists, and tried and tested in the most challenging of environments, the BK107 black ink has been formulated to ensure exceptional product coding while optimising the performance and longevity of the G-Series TIJ printer.
The BK107 ink formulation provides excellent adhesion qualities that are highly resistant to abrasion and deterioration after application to a range of substrates such as Polyethylene, POPP, Cast PP and Polyester/PET, which are used extensively by confectionery and food manufacturers.
This eliminates the problem of print deterioration commonly found with many wax-based inks, and in addition the ink delivers the highest quality print that provides a high visual contrast for easy readability, even at a lower dpi output.
“The combination of the versatility of the G-Series printer with the superior adhesion and print qualities of the BK107 ink, provides confectionery and food manufacturers with a high quality, extremely durable ink,” Mutch added. “This eliminates many of the negatives surrounding wax-based alternatives, such as deterioration in handling and poor readability.”
