Solvent-based inks dry upon evaporation of a solvent and
will print directly onto uncoated media. They were developed for the outdoor
market where the cost of the substrate is a critical factor and durability is
paramount. They require high printhead maintenance due to evaporation in the
nozzles. Although they dry fast and have good adhesion, they emit VOCs, which
can cause environmental concerns. Also, some of the solvents are toxic. Most
applications can use solvent-based inkjet inks, including coding and marking (cans,
bottles, etc.), commercial printing, and wide-format printing.
Since our inks are OEM quality and are easy to use, you can start using our inks
directly into your printer without having to do extensive cleaning- provided you
are using OEM quality inks. This is why our inks are true "plug n play" for most
printers.
Our Solvent Inks have very strong properties:
- offer 5-10 years of UV resistance as opposed to the general 2-5 years.
- offer a wide gamut for better color quality control
- offer solid adhesion properties to enable the printing on various medias
- our inks are nano-filtered, meaning they can NOT clog print heads (however
please keep in mind that machines are recommended to use a cleaning solution
which we also supply)
- our pricing range is very affordable since we are the manufacturer
- The VOCs are controlled as to make it acceptable for workers in the printshop.
