1.4.3 Ink
The Kortho inks have been developed for use in conjunction with the GraphicJet X-series printhead to print
onto a range of substrates. The inks are either oil based, used on porous substrates like cardboard, or solvent
based, used on non-porous substrates like PVC water pipes.
The oil based inks are low odour, low volatility pigmented inks. The use of a low volatility oil gives rapid
dry times on appropriate substrates, such as paper and card board, and gives reliable performance in the
GraphicJet printheads.
The solvent based inks are developed to give a relatively fast drying time on the substrate, this while the ink
will only slowly dry into the print head. This ensures that the print head will not be permanently blocked
after a longer period of not using the printer. Nevertheless there is always a chance the ink will dry into the
print head and will permanently block the print head. To prevent this it is important to either use the printer
regularly or to purge the print head with regular intervals. The length of the interval depends on the ink
used (layout of the print and printfrequency) and type of ink used and ambient circumstances, like
temperature and humidity, please refer to the ink specification sheet for more detailed information.
The inks are designed for outdoor use and with a suitable substrate; the ink should withstand 1-year
exposure. All pigments are lightfast. The ink is resistant to water and common solvents when used on
suitably resistant substrates.
The ink must be protected from light and stored or used between 5 °C and 40 °C.
The recommended ambient temperature while printing is between 15 °C and 35 °C.
