Ink for drinks
Domino Printing Sciences has introduced a high contrast, alkali washable, yellow ink for the beverage industry.
Compatible with the company’s A-Series i-Tech range of CIJ printers, the 2YL955i ink is designed for coding onto dark coloured, reusable glass bottles and has the ability to adhere to wet surfaces.
Greg Treanor, product marketing manager – CIJ at Domino Printing Sciences, says, “The ink is particularly suited for use in returnable glass beverage plants, as it can be readily removed when the bottles are ‘caustic wash’ cleaned for refilling.”
The ink promises first rate adhesion, even in areas where surface condensation is present during the coding stage. Thanks to its fast dry properties (one to two seconds), the printed code resists refrigerator storage and immersion in water. It is also ideal for coding onto reusable rubber, black plastic kegs and even some PET bottles.
