InkTec will launch its newest bulk filling system for outdoor signage printers at Sign and Digital UK, a product that could save up to 65% on ink costs.
Featuring either an open floater cartridge, where ink goes directly to the printhead, or a closed cartridge system which will ensure pressure and print quality are maintained through-out the job, these practical alternatives to cartridges, gives customers the permanent opportunity to move away from disposable cartridges. In addition, the bulk ink delivery also reduces waste deposited into landfill.
The ink pouch closed type technique means it is suitable for printers where the ink goes to the print head via a sub tank (bag) from the cartridge and for printers with vertical positioned cartridges. The ink pouch also has a sensor, so if the ink levels do reduce, the printer will stop, allowing it to be re-filled or for the ink pouch to be changed. In combination with InkTec inks, the system ensures consistently superb colour performance and excellent black and white appearance; offering the equivalent longevity and stability to any OEM brand inks.
Joey Kim, managing director of InkTec Europe said, ‘More and more, we are being asked by customers to provide a credible alternative to both traditional cartridges and also OEM inks, which we were keen to address. The introduction of the bulk filling systems for outdoor signage printers ensures that InkTec continues to listen and respond to the needs of our customers, while providing a realistic and competitive solution.’
