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/epson-c88-cont...-plus-ink.html 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. |
