Coding With Pigmented Ink For Transparent Lids
The Van Vliet Candy Company in Alphen aan den Rijn (Netherlands) needed to find a new printing system to code on to the transparent lids of its Smorredrop sweet jars.
The ink has been designed to be resistant to splashes and spills, making it suitable for packaging items that contain alcohol - including spirits, perfumes, deodorant, de-icer and cleaning fluids - or electronic components that are commonly cleaned with alcohol.
Resistance to other chemicals, such as petrol and engineering cutting fluid, makes the ink suitable for use on automotive or aerospace parts, added the company.
Linx Black 1075 is said to adhere strongly to a number of packaging materials, including glass and most plastics.
That is claimed to ensure a clear, legible code on difficult-to-code packaging, such as perfume or spirits bottles, HDPE white spirit containers, or printed circuit boards.
Compatibility with Linx's smallest printhead, the new Mk 7 Micro, enables a high quality finish, even where particularly small or discreet codes are required.
The ink's claimed fast drying properties enable its use on high-speed bottling lines, whilst its strong light-fastness delivers long-term code clarity without fading, said Linx, providing a benefit to markets where products have a long shelf-life, such as perfumes, or where there are concerns over code longevity, such as aerospace.
Kate O'Mahony, ink product executive at Linx, said: "Linx Black ink 1075 fulfils the need for an ink that can provide effective protection against alcohol and other chemicals.
We are delighted to offer this important extension to our renowned ink range." The ink is compatible with the Linx 4900 and 6800 printer ranges and a number of different printheads.
