JetStream GPK 5220 (Blue
JetStream GPK 6203 (Green)
JetStream GPK 7203 (Black)
JetStream GPK 7215 (Black)
The above series of inks are ketone based and are used in applications where very fast drying times are required. GPK 7203 has proved over the years to be an "Industry Standard Ink", combining an intense black appearance and superb print quality with fast dry time and exceptional reliability.
JetStream GPE 3213 (Red)
JetStream GPE 5203 (Blue)
JetStream GPE 7242 (Black)
JetStream GPE 8312 (White)
These inks are ethanol-based, their low odour and fast drying make them suitable for printing on both porous and non-porous substrates in environments where there is sensitivity to odour/taint.
JetStream GPS 8315 (White)
This ink is particularly opaque, containing titanium dioxide pigment, with outstanding spot contrast and hiding power on a wide range of dark substrates.
JetStream GPW 7205 (Black)
JetStream GPW 7239 (Black)
The two inks in the GPW series are water based and are designed for use on porous substrates and in applications where inks must be non-flammable.
JetStream VM-Ketone Vinyl Marking Inks
JetStream VM Series of inks is fast drying, ketone based products for use in deflected drop (continuous) ink jet printers. Based on a vinyl film-forming polymer the inks create a permanent mark on difficult substrates such as plasticized PVC cables. The pigmented products in the series are especially resistant to colour bleed or transfer.
The inks are also suitable for printing on paper/boards (coated or varnished) many plastic including polystyrene, ABS, CAB, PVdC and metals. The inks show excellent resistance to alcohols and some fluorinated solvents, eg Freon 11R.
JetStream VMK 1301 (Yellow)
JetStream VMK 3301 (Red)
JetStream VMK 5307 (Blue)
JetStream VMK 6301 (Green)
JetStream VMK 7308 (Black)
These inks are based on "soft" organic pigments. VMK 1301 yellow has particularly good opacity and is thus especially suitable for marking dark substrates.
JetStream VMK 2301 (Orange)
JetStream VMK 5309 (Blue)
JetStream VMK 6302 (Green)
JetStream VMK 8314 (White)
These inks are particularly opaque products for marking dark substrates - all contain titanium dioxide pigment.
Jet 8314 is a New, highly opaque white with outstanding spot contrast and hiding power on dark surfaces.
JetStream VMK 7221 (Black)
Jetstream VMK 5215 (Blue)
These two inks are dye based for users not able to operate pigmented systems.
Jetstream UV-UV Curing Marking Inks
JetStream UV Series of inks are solvent resistant, ketone based inks suitable for running in most continuous deflected drop ink jet printers. After printing, the inks must be exposed to high intensity ultra violet light which changes the chemical structure to achieve excellent resistance to a wide variety of solvents, e.g. MEK, trichloroethane, dichloromethane, etc. The UVK series of inks can be printed on to a wide variety of non-porous substrates, e.g. epoxy Printed Circuit Boards, polyethylene, PVC cables etc.
JetStream UVK 3216 (Red)
This ink is a dye based formulation and offers an option for customers not able to run pigmented jet inks.
JetStream UVK 3302 (Red)
JetStream UVK 7303 (Black)
JetStream UVK 8316 (White)
The above inks are based on pigments and offer optimum print quality and resistance properties.
The white ink UVK 8316, is a newly formulated ink based on titanium dioxide pigment, it is highly opaque with outstanding spot contrast and hiding power on dark surfaces. Some machines may require modifications to run white inks.
Jetstream TM-Temporary Marking Inks
JetStream TM Series are solvent based inks suitable for use in most deflected drop continuous ink jet printers. The inks are designed for use as non-permanent markers on a range of materials.
The series of inks will adhere to a wide variety of substrates and, like many inks, their adhesion to some polyolefins can be further improved by corona or flame pre-treatment of substrate.
JetStream TMS 7246 (Black)
JetStream TMS 5219 (Blue)
JetStream TME 5207 (Blue)
These inks are designed to have low water-fastness on non-porous substrates. This allows the inks to be employed as temporary marking, which can be later soaked or wiped off with water. The inks are based on high purity raw materials to give exceptional "trace free" water wash-off characteristics, and to eliminate any corrosion marking on surfaces such as steel. The inks have low odour and are fast drying (typically less than 3 sec depending on ambient conditions) making them suitable for printing on both porous and non-porous substrates in environments where there is sensitivity to odour/taint.
JetStream TMK 7210 (Black) Alkali Wash-off
TMK 7210 is a ketone-based ink that is very fast drying (typically less than 0.5 seconds) and gives an intense black print with excellent adhesion, gloss and abrasion resistance on many substrates. The ink can also be used as an alternative to the general purpose ink GPK 7203 when exceptional drop quality is required. TMK 7210 is formulated to give high quality drop placement needed in small (micro) printing applications including bar coding.
TMK 7210 finds application in temporary marking as the dried film remains soluble in dilute aqueous alkali. The ink is also used in situations where "difficult" substrates such as untreated polyethylene are encountered.
JetStream SS-Steam Sterilisable Marking Inks
JetStream SS Series of inks are solvent based products for use in deflected drop (continuous) ink jet printers.
JetStream SSE 7242 (Black)
JetStream GPE 3213 (Red)
JetStream GPE 5203 (Blue)
These inks are based on ethanol and their low odour means they find application in environments where a lack of smell and taint are of importance.
On non-porous surfaces, dry time is typically less than 3 seconds depending on ambient conditions.
The SSE series of inks will adhere to coated board and many plastics such as polyester & ABS, as well as metals.
HRE 7243 Black ink can be used as an alternative to SSE 7242 where high resolution drop placement is required on non-porous substrates.
JetStream FRK 9201 (Clear / Invisible)
This fluorescent clear ink is based on a formulation which is resistant to steam sterilisation and offers a very fast drying option with novel fluorescent properties. The ink has good adhesion and abrasion properties on a range of substrates from paper / board through to metals and plastics. Corona or flame treatment will improve adhesion to polyolefins.
Under illumination by Ultra Violet light in the range 340-380nm, the ink shows a dramatic bright blue-white response at 430nm.
