Matthews Introduces New MEK-Based, Fast Dry Ink Ideal for the Consumer Packaged Goods and Pharmaceutical Markets
PITTSBURGH -- Matthews Marking Systems, a global manufacturer of marking and coding products, announces a new MEK-based, non-porous, fast dry ink for use with the VIAjet(TM) L-Series thermal ink jet (TIJ) printer.
The LS-7001 ink offers an impressive 2-second dry time, 40-minute open time, and high-quality print on non-porous materials including a large variety of plastics, foils, polyfilms, and metals. The L-Series ink cartridge, which utilizes more print nozzles for a high speed, high resolution (up to 600 dpi) mark, meets the needs of consumer packaged goods companies looking to maintain or improve fast production speeds while enhancing mark quality.
At Matthews' test sites, end-users are impressed with the adhesion and print quality of the ink. Ray Fortuna, Matthews Technical Product Manager, says, "The LS-7001 ink adheres extremely well and has improved production processes for our customers. The main benefit is its superior dry time on non-porous substrates."
Compared to continuous ink jet (CIJ) marking, the VIAjet(TM) L-Series thermal ink jet print heads are a cleaner, more versatile coding method, allowing for high-resolution graphics and stitched print heads for larger marks. The VIAjet(TM) L-Series is controlled by the MPERIA(TM) platform, which enables complete management of enterprise marking and coding operations.
