Ink Information - Printa Systems 990 series Quick Manual

The inks that come standard with the 990 System are a two-part Epoxy ink called the KK Series. These inks
are excellent for standard pad printing applications, and printing on numerous substrates. However, there
are some different items (mostly plastics) that require either pretreatment or an additive to help the KK series
bond to it. Some products require a different series of ink for superior adhesion. The chart below is the major
inks that are sold through Printa Systems and should cover almost every application. There are other series
available for more specific applications. Please contact your Printa Systems Representative for more infor-
mation on these and other products.
