Standard Black Inks
- CM-290
- A dark, pigment-based ink that dries extremely fast on coated media.
- CM-557 Coated Stock
- A dye-based ink that produces a quality image and dries well on glossy and matte substrates.
- Complete
- A dye/pigment hybrid-based ink that is formulated to print on both coated and non-coated substrates. This ink will dry quickly and give good permanence, while maintaining excellent print quality and a dark image.
- OD Black (TWK2138)
- A dye-based ink that allows users to print at a lower dpi, while still producing a dark image on non-coated stocks. This enables the customer to print at high speeds, without compromising the quality of the image.
Heads-Up Black Inks
- CM-557 H
- A dye-based ink that produces a quality image and dries well on glossy and matte substrates.
- Reliable H (TWK2080H)
- A dye-based ink that displays a dark image on coated stocks and dries extremely quickly.
- Complete H (TWK1818H)
- A dye/pigment hybrid-based ink that prints on both coated and non-coated substrates. Dries quickly and provides good permanence on coated stocks, while maintaining excellent print quality and a dark image on non-coated stocks.
- Endurance (TWK2010H)
- A dye-based ink that was designed for bulk applications. It provides a dark image and high contrast throughout, which results in lower impression costs. This ink provides high ink volume throughput.
- Pack Black (TWK2103H)
- A pigment-based ink designed for packaging applications where a low-duty cycle is used. It runs well in bulk and produces a quality image on most porous substrates, such as corrugated boxes.
Solvent Inks
- Stratus (TSK281503)
- Stratus (TSK281503) is Kao Collins’ newest addition to a growing line of thermal inkjet inks for difficult substrates.
- Shark (TSK1948)
- A solvent-based ink that was developed for a side-printing packaging application onto Styrofoam, PET, and paper cartons. As a result, this ink performs well in very humid packaging environments. The Shark ink provides low maintenance, good adhesion, water fastness, and decap with reasonable dry times.
- Solv-Jet (TSK-247703)
- Formulated to print onto difficult substrates. When compared to our Bear solvent ink (TSK2039), you can expect a darker image, improved long-term recovery, improved adhesion to plastics, equal dry time, and the ability to print readable text and barcodes on foils and plastic wraps.
- Sirius (TSK250003)
- Formulated to print onto the same difficult substrates as the Solv-Jet (TSK2300), with the added benefit of increased adhesion. When compared to our Solv-Jet solvent ink (TSK2300), you can expect improved long-term recovery, higher optical density, and adherence to more substrates.
Water-Solvent Hybrid Inks
- Max3 (TWK-1396)
- A water/solvent-based ink that prints on non-porous substrates including Tyvek, PVC, aqueous, and plastic cards. This fast drying ink produces a quality image that is smudge resistant on a variety of media. *US Patent #US7789955
- Max UV (TWW1406)
- An invisible ink that is only visible under an ultra violet light. This ink can be used on non-porous substrates including Tyvek, PVC, aqueous, and plastic cards.
