The new Touch Dry® white inkjet ink for the 5940 G, a high resolution model launched in 2022, enables customers to mark on substrates that are black or dark in colour in instances where black ink does not provide sufficient contrast and when light dye-based inks, such as yellow or orange, are not prominent.
The ink is a pigment-based white Touch Dry® hot melt ink for industrial (non-food grade) applications. It was developed for printing on film, but like all hot melt inks, it may be used on other substrates, such as black film, textiles, non-wovens, coated corrugated and black re-usable plastic containers, subject to testing prior to production line roll-out.
The Markem-Imaje 5940 G features proprietary Touch Dry® inks that instantly dry on contact. The inks, which are free of odours and volatile organic compounds (VOC), are safe to handle and contribute to a minimised environmental impact during printing. Touch Dry® inkjet ink will not spread along corrugated fibres, nor lose resolution. A variety of coloured inks are available.
The 5940 G also features a patented Intelli’Flow™ printhead technology that avoids nozzle blockages due to ink backsplash and dust build-up. Plus, it also features a filtering process that degasses the ink during printing and keeps the jetting mechanism clean and clear, resulting in a higher print quality, greater throughput, reduced maintenance and less downtime.
