-
Medical
Pharmaceutical ink is an ingestible form of water-based ink used on most medicine pills to indicate which drug it is, and/or how many milligrams the pill contains.
-
Construction
Construction settings are usually demanding and harsh, and inkjet printing onto substrates can vary considerably (from metal and plastic to glass and timber). In spite of this, their printing requirements have a lot in common as the ink used for the code itself must be durable and resistant.
-
Automotive
Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) ink is arguably the most cost-effective choice for automotive marking and coding. CIJ printers can print on almost any substrate. A wide range of inks are available to use with CIJ printers including coloured inks to ensure legibility on any colour substrate, UV-readable inks for anti-counterfeiting or water-removable inks for internal traceability
