Domino launches yellow ink for CIJ

Domino Printing Sciences has launched 2YL912, a yellow ink for its A-Series range of continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers.

2YL912 has been designed to overcome ‘problematic’ yellow inks in CIJ printing

The new ink is designed to offer ‘performance and a level of reliability that has previously been unachievable from a yellow ink in the industry as a whole’, and is applicable for a wide range of applications across a variety of sectors. Domino said it remains highly reliable even at elevated temperatures of up to 45 degrees C.

Nick Plaister, product manager for CIJ at Domino, said: ‘Our new ink provides superior performance on a wide range of substrates including HDPE and LDPE.

‘Everyone knows that yellow ink in CIJ can be problematic, but we have used our knowledge and developed this new addition as a simple solution for coding onto dark or black surfaces. We expect it to be predominantly useful for personal care, and food and beverage – where dark labels or glass are being used – as well as some industrial applications.

‘With a 12 month shelf life, and operating in the temperature range 5-45 degrees C, we anticipate excellent feedback from the market, and look forward to rolling this out across Europe over the coming months.’
