The availability of a new ink enables
Wolke thermal inkjet printers to be
used on non-porous surfaces,
including blister foil packs. The
specially formulated solvent based ink
is said to offer excellent finish and
enhanced clarity even for small
characters. It is available through
Sunala, part of the Travtec Group, for
the UK and Ireland pharmaceutical
markets.

The new ink is incorporated into
Wolke’s top selling m600 Advanced
thermal inkjet printer and Sunala can
supply a special Traversing Unit that
enables it to be integrated into
existing blister lines with multiple
head configurations.

The m600 Advanced can print
variable data using a wide variety of
character formats including algebraic
and Arabic. It is also able to print
variable Datamatrix codes to ECC
200, which offer a high degree of
flexibility and accuracy and can
include a huge amount of
information in a concise format,
delivering enhanced track and
traceability benefits. The m600 design
has an HP cartridge system which
contains both ink and print head.
