Re: [Digital BW] New graduated black inks - beta testers wanted please

2007-03-02 by failedthespian

Hi Greg

I appreciate that print head clogging isn't just attributable to the
ink's particle size, but rather the tendency of those particles to
re-agglomerate.  We have studied this phenomena in the laboratory with
our own and competitors' products and know this to be the most important
factor.

Our inks are tested in an oven at a temperature of 60 C (140 F) for a
period of 3 months. and checked regularly for signs of re-agglomeration.

  The testing of our inks has proven a greatly reduce potential for head
blocking. This is due in part to the ink having an AVERAGE particle size
no greater than 120 nanometer.  From the testing we have done with
state-of-the-art laser technology to guarantee the particle size in each
and every batch of ink that we will produce.  There will be no finer
graduated ink on the market, we guarantee it!

We will sell a pre-filled ink system and also inks separately.

I trust that the above answers your questions.

Regards,

Paul
