The manufacturer’s wide-format system will be demonstrated at the Sign and Digital UK show later this month.
Wide-Format Online reported on the “bulk-ink filling solution” from the Korean manufacturer, which will be introduced at the Sign and Digital UK event at the NEC in Birmingham, England from 24 to 26 March.
The system, the company claims, will “be able to save printers up to 65 percent on ink costs”, and will be available as “either an open floater cartridge”, where ink “goes directly to the printhead”, or as a closed ink pouch system “suitable for printers where the ink goes to the printhead via a sub tank”, or bag, from the cartridge, as well as for printers with “vertically-positioned cartridges”.
In turn, the ink pouch features a sensor, so that if “ink levels do reduce, the printer will stop”, allowing the user to refill it or to change the ink pouch, and the company added that the system “can be used with InkTec’s Eco Solvent ink range” as well. The company launched a range of HP inks last year, and discontinued a range of compatible inks in 2013 due to “low demand”.
