UV Fade Resistant Ink for Inkjets (NON-wide format)
 

Any one know of sources for UV (ultra-violet) fade resistant inks to
use in inkjet printers.

I know many of the wide plotters and printers for signs etc. have UV
ink sources but I am after cartridges that can be used in more
everyday SOHO, office level printers.

Office Depot has some new plastic inkjet cards that can be printed on
everyday inkjet printers versus a dedicated ID card printer. We are
field testing these with some personnel now to see if they are any
more resilient.

What I am after would be to find sources of UV ink cartridges for use
in HP, Lexmark, Cannon or other SOHO, office inkjet printers. They
need not be OEM items, but a quality manufacturer would be desired. We
have no problem purchasing an inkjet to dedicate to this, but a
dedicated ID card printer is not the route we want to go.

I after something similar to the MICR cartridges for check printing,
but with UV fade resistant ink.

Much of the hits from Google etc. is for the wide HP plotter/printers.

I've also seen these continuous ink systems like:

http://www.abcink.com/refill-kit-uv-...nk-system.html

This is a possible option, but I really after regular cartridges that
have the UV resistant ink filled already.

Any one got sources of UV ink cartridges?

Thanks in advance.

The only quality mfg other than OEM that I know of is Pantone. I hear
there ink is very good.

Wilhelm's testing of OEM inks determined that Epson pigment based inks were
the most fade resistant.
