At Cyklop Needham, we continue to innovate in the world of industrial inkjet technology with our latest IPA-resistant MEK-based CIJ ink—developed in-house to deliver exceptional solvent resistance, substrate adhesion, and durability across a range of industries.
Designed for challenging environments where alcohol exposure is common, this high-performance ink is ideal for use in coding and marking applications on plastic, metal, glass, and other non-porous substrates.
Our new MEK-based CIJ ink is engineered for enhanced resistance to isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and other solvent cleaning agents like ethanol—making it especially well-suited for environments where components are wiped or cleaned post-marking.
High resistance to IPA and denatured ethanol
Methanol-free formulation for safer use
Strong abrasion and rub resistance
Excellent adhesion to glass, metal, plastic, PVC, and more
Resistant to lubricants, oils, and soaps
Each batch is strictly quality-tested to meet our performance standards, ensuring print consistency and printer uptime.
This ink is purpose-built for industries where post-print cleaning or solvent exposure is frequent, including:
Connector housings
Injection-moulded plastic parts
Circuit board components
Extruded plastics
Tubes, pouches, and caps
Cleanroom-compatible packaging
Medical-grade plastics
Metal housings and enclosures
Cables, wires, and rigid packaging
Parts exposed to lubricants or mechanical cleaning
Coated flexible films
Laminated foils
Plastic pouches
This ink maintains mark legibility even after contact with cleaning solvents, mechanical abrasion, or packaging line friction—making it ideal for regulatory coding, batch tracking, and product identification.
The IPA-resistant ink can be custom-reformulated for use in any CIJ printer platform, allowing businesses to take advantage of this performance ink without needing to switch equipment.
Our in-house R&D team can assist with formulation matching to OEM systems while maintaining superior adhesion, durability, and cost-efficiency.
With more than 60 years of experience in industrial ink development and manufacturing, Cyklop Needham continues to lead the market in advanced ink solutions that balance performance, compliance, and environmental responsibility.
