Markem-Imaje launches ‘White Ink’ for inkjet printers

Markem-Imaje, a global leader, specialising in innovative product identification and others, has announced the launch of a new Touch Dry white inkjet ink. The new specialty ink is for the Markem-Imaje 5940 G, a high resolution model launched in 2022, enabling customers to mark on substrates that are black or dark in colour in instances where black ink does not provide sufficient contrast and when light dye-based inks, such as yellow or orange, are not prominent.

The ink is a pigment-based white Touch Dry hot melt ink for industrial applications. It was developed for printing on film, but like all hot melt inks, it may be used on other substrates, such as black film, textiles, coated corrugated and black re-usable plastic containers, subject to testing prior to production line roll-out. Markem-Imaje 5940 G features proprietary Touch Dry inks that instantly dry. The inks are free of odours and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
