Videojet launches new coding inks

Videojet has announced three new Ultra High Speed inks for its line of UHS continuous ink jet printers. These new inks – V516-D, V517-D and V530-D – join a family of ten other UHS compatible inks that have been extensively tested across a broad range of print speeds and environmental condition extremes.
V516-D is a black, non-colour changing retortable ink that can withstand tough high-temperature steam/water bath processes commonly used in cooking prepared food containers after filling and sealing.
V517-D is a thermochromic ink that changes from black to blue when coding onto heat-processed food containers made of a variety of metal, plastic and glass substrates. This ink provides good durability as well as superior adhesion through the rigorous cooking/retort process.
V530-D is a patented high performance ink that comes in an environmentally-friendly MEK-free formula. It is specially designed for printing onto various hard-to-code plastics such as untreated polyethylene and polypropylene substrates typically found in the food packaging industry.
John Kirschner, Videojet supplies business manager, commented: “We developed the UHS inks to provide exceptional coding quality that our high speed application customers have come to rely on.”

You can license the articles from Printing and Manufacturing Journal to reproduce in other publications. I generally charge around £150 per article but I’m open to discussing this for each title, particularly for publishers that want to use multiple stories. I can provide high res versions of images for print publications.

I’m used to working with overseas publishers and am registered for VAT with the UK’s HMRC tax authority but obviously won’t charge VAT to companies outside the UK. You can find further details and a licensing form from this page, or just contact me directly here.
