Ink, Codarc® Cartridges and Typesets
Messages are generated using rubber typesets with an interlocking base which can be inserted into an easily removed typeholder inside the R250 printers. Special characters, logos etc. are all possible.
The typeholder automatically re-inks against a Codarc® ink cartridge which can yield up to 250,000 prints. Codarc® cartridges can be re-inked multiple times and do not splash or drip. You do not need any tools to quickly change an ink cartridge.
Both absorptive and air-drying inks are available in a wide variety of colours ..download ink specifications sheet

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.
