New 12-month inkjet ink cartridge shelf-life

Videojet Technologies has launched a proprietary ethanol-based Cool Black Solvent thermal inkjet formulation (TIJ) ink to provide users with a 12-month HP® cartridge shelf life, excellent performance in low-temperature environments and a no-CMR (carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxins) ink option.

It was specifically designed for printing on non-porous packaging where high-quality codes, quick dry times and excellent adhesion with minimal maintenance are required. Cool Black Solvent ink delivers high-quality codes on a wide range of materials, particularly on flexible packaging used for fast moving consumer goods, coated cartons and glossy labels used in high-end cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and blister packs and foils. The average dry times are of approximately one second when printing alphanumeric codes, and less than three seconds for bold text or 2D codes on those substrates. The ink can be used in the Videojet 8520, olke m610 advanced, Wolke m610 touch and Wolke m610 oem TIJ printers.
