Memjet inks are uniquely designed to work effectively and reliably with Memjet printheads

First Generation Inks

Memjet inks are water-based, four-color (CMYK) ink formulations, customized to work in conjunction with Memjet printheads. While water-based inks are common in the industrial label printing market, Memjet inks are unique to meet the demands of high-speed drop ejection, single-pass printing and to ensure reliable, high-quality color printing for the life of the printhead.

Advanced dye colorants have been chosen to achieve the highest image quality and reliability at high speeds. The printhead’s 1-2 picoliter ink droplets absorb into typical home and office paper substrates in milliseconds, so that pages printed with a Memjet printhead and ink are completely dry as soon as they exit the printer.

Memjet Labels provides production quality bulk ink to OEM brands and their manufacturing partners for consumables filling and distribution. Memjet inks are manufactured to very tight tolerances with extremely low impurity levels to ensure consistent quality batch to batch and to maximize printhead life. Memjet ink manufacturers are required to pass stringent quality audits.

Future Ink Development

As the Memjet technology evolves, Memjet Labels aim to provide leading dye as well as pigmented inks for a wide range of industrial label applications.

While much of the printing industry has moved from dye to pigmented-based inks, the Memjet printing system enables a unique range of advanced dye and pigment choices that is expected to deliver new print quality capabilities. Whether dye or pigment, Memjet Labels remain committed to delivering high quality custom inks tuned to work reliably in conjunction with designated printheads.
