InkTec introducing bulk ink filling system

Korean company InkTec is introducing a bulk ink filling system. The big launch of the new technology will take place at Sign and Digital UK taking place from March 24-26, 2015 in Birmingham. The system is claimed to be able to save printers up to 65 percent on ink costs. It will be available either as an open floater cartridge, where ink goes directly to the printhead, or a closed ink pouch system suitable for printers where the ink goes to the printhead via a sub tank (bag) from the cartridge, and for printers with vertically positioned cartridges. The ink pouch has a sensor, so if the ink levels do reduce, the printer will stop, allowing it to be re-filled or for the ink pouch to be changed. The system can be used with InkTec’s eco-solvent ink range.
