Boston Industrial Solutions Introduces UV Ink Jettable Primer for Metals and Glass

Press release from the issuing company

Boston Industrial Solutions, Inc. introduces a general-purpose UV ink jettable primer for hard to print substrates such as stainless steel, coated metals, uncoated metals, glass, and plastics.  It is formulated for inline use with Ricoh Gen 4 and Ricoh Gen 5 print heads.

The JP254 primer is for use with any existing printing Ricoh Gen 4 and Gen 5 print heads. Alternatively, an additional print head, and UV-LED light source can be implemented to cure the primer before the ink colors are printed.

Like the Natron™ inkjet primers, the Natron™ JP254 primer has undergone rigorous testing to ensure perfect ink-jettability, printability, and adhesion on substrates.

Key benefits for the JP254 inkjet primer

  • Inline, on demand application—apply when needed and on needed substrates
  • Eliminates the need to switch inks for different substrates.
  • Long shelf life – over 1 year.
  • Increased production speed
  • Reduces chemical exposure to employees
  • Consumable savings/ use only what is needed.

Inline application allows for improved registration and faster production times. Because the machine is capable of spot priming only the areas of the substrate that will be accepting ink, this means less primer and ink be utilized, hence keeping costs down and increasing print quality. 

This primer is available in 1Litter bottles.  It is perfect for use with bulk inkjet systems. Additionally, 220ml cartridge and 600ml ink packs will be available soon.
