Inkjet Inks

Inkjet printing is no longer a consumer technology—it is the backbone of packaging, labels, commercial printing, coding & marking, textiles, and industrial inkjet systems. Carbon black in inkjet must meet the most stringent pigment standards in the entire
printing industry.

Where UV Inkjet Is Used

Labels & shrink sleeves

Direct-to-object printing

3D objects (PVC cards, bottles)

Industrial decoration

High-end packaging inkjet

Why UV Inkjet Is Used

100% solids → no water/solvent

Instant curing → zero downtime

Print on any surface

Ultra-high gloss

Industry Problems

Fundamental Requirements From Carbon Black

Ultra-clean, highly oxidized surfaces prevent clogging of the very small printhead nozzles
Very small particle size for gloss prevent nozzle burn
Zero ionic contamination for consistent printing

Technical Requirements From Carbon Black

ISTAR Series That Fit

ONYX GEMS®

the preferred pigment for UV inkjet (because gas-black properties mimic premium blue undertone and gloss)
