Non-porous black ink dries quickly on coated cartons, labels

Videojet’s new ink for its 8510 and Wolke thermal ink jet (TIJ) printer lines is a Non-Porous Black ink (WLK660072) designed for fast dry times on a wide range of non-porous materials, extending the code assurance features of the printers to a wider range of applications.
By Gretchen Edelbrock, Products Editor

Designed for customers packaging pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, food, personal care items, or consumer packaged goods that often use coated cartons or labels,  Non-Porous Black dries quickly on a range of surfaces, such as coated or lacquered cartons, blister package materials and some plastics, without the use of a dryer, or the need to modify the substrate. In addition, the ink maintains light and water resistance, withstanding fading and smearing under routine conditions and/or after water contact.  HP technology is being utilized to print this ink.
