DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
March 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Markem-Imaje, part of Dover (NYSE: DOV), is launching a new,
multi-purpose black EB588 ink, which supports safer, more
sustainable coding with fewer errors for fast-moving consumer
goods, such as food, beverage and personal care products.
This latest ink offering, which pairs with Markem-Imaje's
flagship 9450 coder, helps manufacturers improve coding performance
and protect the environment without a cost increase. Unlike
traditional alternatives, the black EB588 ink is eco-friendly as it
does not contain Methyl Ethyl Ketone and generates up to 40% less
greenhouse gases, thereby also helping customers maintain a safe
work environment for employees.
In addition to the fact that fewer consumables per code are
required when using this ink, its smart consumable management
system mitigates the risk of using unsuitable inks, which could
result in poor quality codes. Other benefits of this ink can be
seen at a plant-level, where there is less waste in terms of
bottles, cartridges and rework, as well as in the market, whereas
referenced above safety is further supported.
"Today's launch permits manufacturers to improve their
sustainability credentials without reducing profitability,"
explains Vincent Millot, Consumables
Product Marketing Manager, Markem-Imaje. "The ink can be used on
different types of packaging, making stock management easier, and
the ink cartridges can be replaced while the line is running, so
downtime is minimized. With the coder's touch screen user
interface, users have access to data about consumable levels and
know how many prints are remaining, eliminating lost time due to
the ink or additive running out. This new product is a win-win for
consumers, retailers, distributors, manufacturers and the
environment."
