PWC1164 Ink

The PWC1164 ink is a cyan pigment-based ink designed to print on a variety of paper stocks, such as book and newspaper pages.

Heat isn't required to cure this ink, but it is needed to achieve immediate, tack-free drying and to speed up the heat cure process. This ink is unique because permanence is achieved through a two step process:

1. Drying – makes the PWC1164 ink tack-free to avoid ink transfer onto web rolls or from sheet-to-sheet.
2. Curing – makes the PWC1164 ink permanent (wet rub- and highlighter-resistant) The temperature required will depend on the substrate, print resolution, heater capacity, and line factors affecting ink transfer. For example, with a temperature of 100 C, printed at 600×600 dpi at 30 mpm on matte and gloss stocks, it should dry and cure immediately. Aqueous and clay-coated stocks will require more heat or longer cure times.
