In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, cost-effective and high-performance printing solutions are more essential than ever. While Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) technology remains a staple in industrial marking and coding, many businesses are rethinking their reliance on OEM CIJ ink.
An increasing number of companies are now switching to replacement CIJ ink fluids—and for good reason. These alternatives deliver comparable quality, broader compatibility, and significant cost savings, without compromising on performance.
In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, cost-effective and high-performance printing solutions are more essential than ever. While Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) technology remains a staple in industrial marking and coding, many businesses are rethinking their reliance on OEM CIJ ink.
An increasing number of companies are now switching to replacement CIJ ink fluids—and for good reason. These alternatives deliver comparable quality, broader compatibility, and significant cost savings, without compromising on performance.
1. Save on CIJ Ink Costs Without Sacrificing Quality
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) inks often come with premium price tags. That added cost isn’t always matched by added performance. By switching to replacement CIJ inks, businesses can:
Reduce long-term consumables costs
Avoid inflated OEM pricing
Improve overall printing ROI
At Cyklop Needham, our UK-manufactured CIJ ink replacements offer the same reliability and print integrity as OEM fluids—at a fraction of the price.
2. High-Performance Printing with Reliable Ink Quality
Modern replacement CIJ inks are formulated to deliver sharp, high-resolution prints on a wide variety of substrates. At Cyklop Needham, our inks are developed in-house and rigorously tested to match the performance of branded OEM fluids.
Whether you’re printing expiry dates, batch codes, barcodes, or product IDs, our CIJ inks ensure:
Consistent drop formation
Fast drying times
Long-lasting adhesion and readability
3. Broad Compatibility Across CIJ Printer Brands
Cyklop Needham's replacement CIJ inks are engineered for cross-compatibility with leading printer models, including those from:
Domino
Videojet
Linx
Markem-Imaje
Hitachi
And more
This means you can streamline your supply chain by sourcing all your coding fluids from a single provider, while still maintaining system integrity and print quality.
4. Custom CIJ Inks for Industry-Specific Applications
Every industry has its own challenges. That’s why we offer bespoke CIJ ink formulations for specialised needs, such as:
Food-safe inks for packaging and direct-contact surfaces
Solvent-resistant inks for industrial parts and tools
UV-stable inks for outdoor exposure
Fast-drying inks for high-speed production lines
With ongoing investment in research and development, we ensure every ink solution meets regulatory standards and environmental conditions.
5. Trusted Support and Scalable Supply
Switching to a new ink supplier doesn’t mean you sacrifice support. Cyklop Needham offers:
Expert technical assistance
Flexible volume purchasing
Reliable lead times and delivery
On-site integration support when needed
