Domino Printing Sciences introduces a high-contrast, alkali-washable yellow ink that is compatible with the company’s A-Series i-Tech range of color ink jet (CIJ) printers.
The 2YL955i ink is designed for coding onto dark colored, reusable glass bottles and can adhere to wet surfaces.
“We have created an advanced high-contrast opaque yellow ink that is visible on a dark surface,” says Greg Treanor, product marketing manager – CIJ.
“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 2YL955i adheres even in areas where surface condensation is present during the coding stage. With the ink’s fast dry properties (one to two seconds), the printed code resists refrigerator storage and immersion in water, making it ideal for beer, soft drinks and assorted beverage applications.
The yellow ink is also ideal for coding onto reusable rubber, black plastic kegs and even some polyethylene terephthalate bottles.
