The ink has a self-disinfecting formulation and is also ideal for coding onto many other food items. The black to blue thermochromic ink has been designed for the canning market and changes colour when stream sterilised. The ideal conditions for the ink to change colour are 125 degrees Centigrade for 20 minutes. The colour change is a very dramatic change from black to a bright blue. Another colour change option is from black to red.
Domino also has a range of inks that can withstand steam sterilisation and remain the same colour.
Opaque ink Opaque inks have been developed for use in any industry where dark surfaces need to be coded with out-standing clarity and brightness. For optimum print quality, opaque fluids need to be kept in constant motion to ensure even distribution of the pigments. Domino's special Wake Up software has been designed to maintain the opaque fluid in optimum condition, even when the machine is shut down. The result is superb quality, brightness and visibility as soon as the machine is started up again. This is a light blue, pigmented ink which has been specifically developed for the wire and cable industry.
