Domino Printing Sciences has launched a new black Ethanol-based ink for use with its G-Series range of thermal ink jet (TIJ) printers. The BK107 black ink is suitable for coding and marking applications within the confectionery and food markets. It is said to offer exceptional adhesion properties and the highest quality print for contrast and readability.
Domino’s BK107 ink is said to be highly resistant to abrasion and deterioration after application to a range of substrates such as Polyethylene, POPP, Cast PP and Polyester/PET, used extensively by confectionery and food manufacturers. This eliminates the problem of print deterioration commonly found with many wax-based inks.
The ink comes in a convenient changeable print cartridge said to be is clean, efficient, reliable and service free. It conforms to Domino’s Fluids Policy which reflects industry guidelines, such as the EuPIA Guideline for Food Packaging Inks.
Domino product manager, Alan Mutch says: “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.”
