Start with the Right Ink
There are many types of printing inks available in the market, and selecting the right printing ink and/or print partner is an important factor to consider for your food packaging or sensitive application. Some ink technologies while okay for other print processes, can be hazardous when used near the production of food products. Using safe, high-quality ink protects the safety and efficacy of the food product. As a company focused on our own environmental impact, as well as that of our customers, Memjet strives to achieve the safest inks possible without compromising performance – and it starts with water.nnMemjet’s all water-based ink portfolio is free from toxic and reactive chemistries, making them safer for the earth and human health than other ink alternatives. The water-based formulation benefits print workers and can potentially cut environmental costs (permits and disposal fees) in half. Building on that strong foundation, Memjet puts focus on the purity of ingredients, consistency in manufacturing, and rigorous quality control to ensure high-performance and lifecycle reliability. The newest generation of Memjet inks are carefully designed specifically for use in food packaging and other sensitive applications — an essential differentiator. Choosing the right inks up-front can help you to create high-performance, sustainable labels and packaging that do not negatively impact food, human health, the environment, or your wallet.
