HI-CLASS INK: Maximum speed for your line

In high-volume production environments where every second counts, HI-CLASS INK is the most effective choice. This ink has been specifically developed to eliminate downtime and the risk of damage to the print in subsequent stages of the production process. The extremely short drying time, which ranges from 2-3 seconds, is a critical factor, especially in lines where products are immediately sent to a stack, into packages or into feeders after printing.
The chemical composition of the ink is designed to slightly disrupt the surface structure of plastic parts when applied, ensuring that the print becomes an integral part of the substrate. This makes the resulting marking not only highly resistant to manipulation, but also retains its sharpness and legibility even during high-speed product processing, making it an ideal partner for modern automated lines.

Ink technology

What does alcohol-based ink mean?
The technological basis of HI-CLASS INK is high-purity ethanol, which acts as a primary carrier medium with an exceptional evaporation rate. This property of the carrier is key to achieving lightning-fast ink fixation: as soon as it hits the surface, the alcohol base evaporates almost immediately, thereby “locking” the dye to the material in an instant.
This physicochemical stabilization process does not require any external drying elements, thus saving energy and space on your line. By using alcohol as a carrier, the ink is able to achieve excellent adhesion on semi-porous and many smooth surfaces without excessive loading or degradation. The result is a precise, dry and high-contrast print immediately after leaving the print head.

Main Benefits

Why is HI-CLASS INK the best in its class?

 

Production efficiency

Dries in 3 seconds, eliminating smudging when packing

Perfect fusion

The ink is partially absorbed into the substrate, which ensures print stability.

Optimal aggressiveness

Safe for the material, but high contrast for code readers.

Applications and uses

Put HI-CLASS INK into practice: which materials is the ink suitable for
Choosing the right ink is the basis for the durability of your marking. We have prepared a clear application matrix for you to help you verify whether HI-CLASS INK is the ideal candidate for your specific surface. The rating takes into account not only the adhesion of the ink, but also its durability in demanding operating conditions. If you are not sure about the compatibility with your specific material, do not hesitate to contact us for a professional consultation or a free print test.
