Resisting moisture

It is said to be ideal for consistent coding through pouch and can retort applications where the contents are cooked in the packaging after they are coded.

The new Linx Black retort ink 1077 has been developed for the company’s market-leading Linx 8900 and 8800 Series continuous ink jet (CIJ) coders and is a dye based MEK ink.  This specialist ink is specifically designed for use in typical sterilisation and wet retort process conditions. Its formulation enables the printers to code through a thin layer of oily film or grease. In addition, it contains components that enhance its adhesion under moist and high-temperature conditions, delivering good adhesion and good transfer resistance, as well as excellent durability and legibility on a range of materials after processing.
