QuickFit Ink Containers and accessories
A pressurised liquid delivery system
The QuickFit liquid delivery system suits a range of inks and chemicals.
Air is supplied via a compact electric air-pump, or via the popular "factory air" option. The plastic containers are pressurized at 5-15psi and deliver ink to inkjet printheads - or can be used to feed a range of other chemicals.
As all fittings are the quick release self-sealing type, changing ink types and colours or removing a container for cleaning/shaking (in the case of pigmented systems) becomes much easier.
Spare bottles can be kept for different colours or for changing from ink to solvent.

4700 Ink released
The new 4700 ink has been released for the EVOLUTION-1 inkjet systems, featuring a dry-time of 1-3 seconds on materials such as metal and plastic.
This ink lets this sub-2K printer handle applications traditionally reserved for expensive continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) while reducing consumable cost and maintenance.
Printing Glass Bases
Trend's Hot QuickCoder was successful in providing a solution to print on the base of glass jars with a use-by date.
The application is manual - an operator loading the jars into a basic jig - with the HQC unit printing from underneath on the slightly domed base with a white colour.
