Linx inks and fluids

Linx General Purpose inks

Linx offers a range of general-purpose black and coloured inks that give outstanding performance on most common materials. These Linx inks are therefore ideal for most general external packaging applications. Each of these Linx inks has slightly different performance characteristics to provide a wide range of options.

Enhanced adhesion inks are also available for excellent print quality on almost all substrates and superior adhesion to plastics and plastic films, which can be difficult to print, for example, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene (including untreated OPP and BOPP), and polyvinylchloride.


Linx Specialist Inks

Linx also offer a range of Specialist inks to suit a wide range of applications.

Food Grade Inks

Contain only edible raw materials conforming to regulations of either the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or the European Union (EU).

Linx Pigmented Inks

Give the best possible contrast on a range of different coloured materials, and offer good heat tolerance, light-fastness and resistance to solvents.

Process Tolerant Inks

Designed for wet bottle coding applications and to withstand processes such as steam sterilisation or chemical washes.

Removable Coding Inks

Ideal for applications where a temporary code needs to be applied and then removed later, such as re-usable containers in the beverage industry.

Security (UV Readable) Inks

Inks which are near invisible in normal light but fluoresce violet or red under UV light. Suitable for anti-counterfeiting and other discreet coding applications.

Thermochromic Inks

Inks which undergo a permanent colour change when subjected to certain wet heat conditions. Also penetrate and then resist removal by oil, wax or varnish.

Non MEK Inks

MEK and acetone-free inks are also available for production environments that require Ketone-free inks.

Large Character Marking

Linx inks for Large Character Marking come in black, red, green and blue to suit most applications. These Linx inks are fast drying and have a low odour making them particularly suitable for food packaging. Applications can include outer case coding, product identification, corporate branding, contact information or ingredients listings.

The Linx CJ400 Inks

The Linx CJ400 Inks Range has been specially formulated for use with the Linx CJ400 continuous ink jet printer.

These inks are ideally suited for coding and marking onto a wide range of porous and non-porous materials, including metal, glass, plastics, paper and card. The inks are fast-drying, and come in a range of colours to suit a wide variety of industry sectors.

The inks use the Linx SureFill® bottle verification system which ensures fast, mistake-proof refills: it prevents the use of incorrect fluids which could lead to costly printer repairs.

All Linx CJ400 inks and solvents have a long 15 months shelf life, helping you to reduce waste.
