Make a Mark That Lasts

maintenance ink cured only by UV LED light. The ink won’t dry until it comes in contact with the UV light, meaning a lower maintenance solution than all other ink jet technologies. This instant LED curing ink leaves a permanent mark that is impervious to environmental factors such as sunlight, water, moisture, temperature, and contains virtually no VOCs, making it ideal for food applications. Additionally, the 905 Series CoPilot system utilizes easy-to-use software modified specifically for the produce industry for easy message programming and recall.

Out With the Old, In With the New

UV LED technology offers several advantages over existing TTO (thermal transfer overprint) systems currently used in produce applications. Squid Ink’s 905 Series CoPilot system does not require compressed air, making it an easy install anywhere in the plant, or in the field. In addition, the 905 system offers 20-25 times fewer ink/ribbon changes, and up to 5 times lower cost per print. Typical cost per print is 20 cents per 1,000 loks. Add in a longer printhead life span and no work stoppages for ribbon breaks, and users will enjoy increased savings on their initial and ongoing operating costs.
