Black Ink For Pigmented Printers

Videojet Technologies Inc., in response to industry needs for improved print quality on parts, has launched a new black opaque ink for its CIJ range of pigmented printers. Dry time on materials such as steel is often between 4 and 6 seconds, and dry time is reduced to between 1 and 3 seconds on porous materials such as paper. The new pigmented ink can be utilised to create bright, clean codes on surfaces for which dye-based inks are not effective. This ink has been specifically formulated for the 1710 CIJ printer, and will replace the current 16-2000 ink. The properties of the new ink are identical to the 16-2000 ink, which has previously been approved and listed within a variety of aerospace part marking specifications used by many suppliers and manufacturers in this industry. The Videojet 1710 CIJ printer utilises the Smart Cartridgeâ„¢ fluid delivery system to virtually eliminate spills, ensuring the correct fluids are being used and verifying fluids are within their expiration date. The new ink is now available in 600ml cartridges, and the corresponding make-up fluid in 750 ml cartridges. The new black opaque ink can be used in the current Videojet 1710 CIJ printer, for use with pigmented inks. The 1710 CIJ greatly improves uptime, lowers maintenance requirements and improves print quality, making these printers ideal for the aerospace and automotive industry.
