SID IJ3000 Eco Solvent Inks – The SID IJ3000 inks are formulated for maximum outdoor durability and UV light resistance. In laboratory testing, the inks received a grade of 8 (6 or higher being suitable for outdoor use). Testing was done with Xenon high pressure lamps, providing results similar to daylight exposure. Since the IJ3000 inks are a mild or eco solvent, they require minimal venting and create less environmental impact than traditional solvent inks. In addition to their reliable performance, SID eco solvent inks are among the most affordable on the market at $54 per liter and are compatible with print heads from other manufacturers with 12 pl or similar high resolution print heads.
