Standard Black Inks

• CM-290

  • A dark, pigment-based ink that dries extremely fast on coated media.
     

• CM-557 Coated Stock

  • A dye-based ink that produces a quality image and dries well on glossy and matte substrates.

​

• Complete

  • A dye/pigment hybrid-based ink that is formulated to print on both coated and non-coated substrates. This ink will dry quickly and give good permanence while maintaining excellent print quality and a dark image.

​

• OD Black (TWK2138)

  • A dye-based ink that allows users to print at a lower dpi, while still producing a dark image on non-coated stocks. This enables the customer to print at high speeds, without compromising the quality of the image.

 

Heads-Up Black Inks

• CM-557 H

  • A dye-based ink that produces a quality image and dries well on glossy and matte substrates.

​

• Reliable H (TWK2080H)

  • A dye-based ink that displays a dark image on coated stocks and dries extremely quickly.

​

• Complete H (TWK1818H)

  • A dye/pigment hybrid-based ink that prints on both coated and non-coated substrates. Dries quickly and provides good permanence on coated stocks, while maintaining excellent print quality and a dark image on non-coated stocks.

​​

• Endurance (TWK2010H)

  • A dye-based ink that was designed for bulk applications. It provides a dark image and high contrast throughout, which results in lower impression costs. This ink provides high ink volume throughput.

​

• Pack Black (TWK2103H)

  • A pigment-based ink designed for packaging applications where a low-duty cycle is used. It runs well in bulk and produces a quality image on most porous substrates, such as corrugated boxes.

​

Solvent Inks – HP 45si

• Stratus (TSK281503)

  • Stratus (TSK281503) is Kao Collins’ newest addition to a growing line of thermal inkjet inks for difficult substrates.

​

• Shark (TSK1948)

  • A solvent-based ink that was developed for a side-printing packaging application onto Styrofoam, PET, and paper cartons. As a result, this ink performs well in very humid packaging environments. The Shark ink provides a low maintenance, good adhesion, water fastness, and decap with reasonable dry times.

​

• Sigma (TSK318203)

  • Developed for use HP 45si technology to deliver an industry-leading decap time of more than 12 hours. Revolutionary Sigma dries instantly to a richer black without heat and adheres to many previously challenging substrates. Increased stability gives individual cartridges a shelf life of 24 months.

​

• Solv-Jet (TSK-247703)

  • Formulated to print onto difficult substrates. When compared to our Bear solvent ink (TSK2039), you can expect a darker image, improved long-term recovery, improved adhesion to plastics, equal dry time, and the ability to print readable text and barcodes on foils and plastic wraps.

​

• Sirius (TSK250003)

  • Formulated to print onto the same difficult substrates as the Solv-Jet (TSK2300), with the added benefit of increased adhesion. When compared to our Solv-Jet solvent ink (TSK2300), you can expect improved long-term recovery, higher optical density, and adherence to more substrates.

 

Water-Solvent Hybrid Inks

• Max3 (TWK-1396)

  • A water/solvent-based ink that prints on non-porous substrates including Tyvek, PVC, aqueous, and plastic cards. This fast-drying ink produces a quality image that is smudge resistant to a variety of media. *US Patent #US7789955

​

• Max UV (TWW1406)

  • An invisible ink that is only visible under an ultra violet light. This ink can be used on non-porous substrates including Tyvek, PVC, aqueous, and plastic cards.
