Why use polymer inks

The adhesion of inks to the substrate represents one of the major concerns for inkjet printing.

Our polymer ink guarantees the optimum distribution of the ink pigments thanks to a technique that combines the reduction of the pigments into nanoparticles, together with a method of fixing them to the surface using active ionic polymers immersed in the particles of the same pigments and which, as time goes by, improve their fixing as they penetrate the substrate. After 24 hours of fixation the ink improves up to 60% more in fixation than any other type of thermal ink.

This technology provides better flow of ink through the print cartridges, low odor, high stability of formulation and greater durability of the ink on the substrate

Demonstrating high scratch, abrasion and water resistance, maximum drying speed, gloss, color sharpness and light resistance, higher stability during transport and storage of the printed substrate, better effective adhesion of the ink to the substrate, increasing the drying time of the ink (decap) on the printhead. These factors help the performance of the ink in the cartridge and with the environment as it is free of many toxic components.

The range of polymer inks has been specially designed to work and respond to industrial productions on inkjet equipment using thermo-inkjet heads.

They are mainly used for high resolution digital printing on non-porous materials such as PE / PP / PET / PVC / OPFD, a wide variety of varnishes and coatings, plastics, metals, foils, aluminium and some types of glass.
