INKS FOR INKJET PRINTERS

Herkula was founded 1894 and since this time we invested our many years of existence into the perfection of our craft to develop and produce speciality inks. We started the development of Continuous Inkjet Inks (CIJ) due to the fact that we received many requests about digital printing inks from our customers, during the last decade.
Various customers explained, that they have different claims with their inks for CIJ printer, therefore we decided to develop our own inks for this kind of printing system. Due to Herkula´s history we´re specialized in colouring and marking of plastic materials using soluble (dye) and pigmented (non-soluble) colorants. The development was focused on the parameter’s adhesion, contrast and above all, stability.

Our Improvements are

Less Maintenance
Better Adhesion on Various Substrates
Less Service Intervals

Our pigmented products in particular are characterized by low sedimentation of the colorants and thus consistent performance. Therefore, we are proud to present different CIJ series: For general purpose application we would recommend our MEK-based (30150) and MEK-free (30152) series. Both series are available with dye based and pigment based colorants. The main focus of our inks concentrates on extrusion application. Therefore, we designed several series for PVC, polyolefinic, PTFE and even silicone substrates.
