CONTRASTING INKS
The Linx range of contrasting inks for CIJ printers delivers vivid codes, in a variety of colours, across a range of substrates, including rubbers, plastics, and metals. These pigmented inks are MEK based inks and offer excellent light-fastness (for products stored or used outside), heat, and chemical splash resistance. They are used extensively in cabling and pipe extrusion, auto, and aero parts marking, electronics as well as packaging. Some Linx contrasting inks require the Spectrum variant of an inkjet printer. For a full profile of each ink, including printer compatibility, refer to the ‘Summary of the Linx range of pigmented inks’ datasheet.
INK 1009
Black pigmented 1009
A dense black ink giving good colour contrast especially on plasticised and unplasticised PVC.
INK 1043
Opaque blue 1043
Good contrast on dark and light coloured substrates, ideal for cabling and pipe extrusions as well as building and packaging materials.
INK 1079
Yellow pigmented 1079
Good colour contrast on dark coloured substrates, with a wider adhesion profile than 1039, including glass.
INK 1310
High-opacity grey 1310
A heavily pigmented ink with outstanding opacity and contrast on any colour of substrate, including grey. Good performance across a range of materials, including PVC.
INK 1033
Blue pigmented 1033
Good colour contrast on light coloured substrates, especially PVC, ideal for cable and pipe extrusions.
INK 1053
Blue pigmented 1053
A lighter blue ink than 1043 but with a wider adhesion profile, including glass, metal and plastic, especially PVC.
INK 1305
Brilliant white 1305
A heavily pigmented ink that gives a highly opaque white print for excellent contrast and legibility on dark coloured substrates. It withstands a high level of heat, light and solvent and is suitable for a range of specialist applications, including plastic but particularly PE.
INK 1316
Brilliant white 1316
A heavily pigmented ink with outstanding clarity on dark coloured substrates, including PE. Can be used with the Linx Midi and Ultima printheads, offering a smaller size of code.
INK 1039
Yellow pigmented 1039
Good colour contrast on dark coloured contrasts across a range of substrates, especially PVC. Suitable for electronic components, rubber mouldings and jar enclosures.
INK 1059
White pigmented 1059
Good contrast on black or other dark coloured materials, resists migration and transfer, and is particularly suited to coding onto plastics, especially PVC.
INK 1306
Brilliant white 1306
A heavily pigmented ink with highly opaque print on dark substrates. It resists a high level of heat, light and solvent, and is faster drying than 1305. Particularly good on plastics.
INK 1320
White cable ink 1320
A heavily pigmented ink with outstanding clarity on dark coloured substrates, including PE. Can be used with the Linx Midi and Ultima printheads, offering a smaller size of code.
