Pneumatic
Ink Cartridges (DM-2 & DM-2.3)
 The heart of all pneumatic inking
systems is the DieMark DM-2 disposable ink cartridge. The DM-2 is
pre-filled and factory tuned to eliminate labor intensive inker
related delays in the test area: ink mixing, refilling, adjustments,
cleaning and rework. DM-2 contains 60% more ink than standard
DieMark cartridges ensuring consistent dots and long life at any
speed.
The DM-2 has a polypropylene ink
reservoir, which is sealed by a threaded cap at the top and a thin membrane
at the bottom. The traditional fishline has been replaced
by a small Teflon tube encased in a stainless steel needle. When the
cartridge is opened, the needle punctures the reservoir to provide
ink flow. |
Electric
Ink Cartridges (DM-1, DM-1.25 &
DM-S)
 Electric
inkers utilize DieMark cartridges for the ultimate inking solution.
DieMark cartridges offer reliable, consistent, trouble free operation
with the benefit of a disposable unit. Pre-filled factory tuned
cartridges are easy to use - no adjusting, refilling or cleaning. All
inks utilized in the cartridges have been selected to produce consistent
dots over a wide range of speeds without dripping, or skipping. Three
needle configurations are available to afford optimal visual/physical
inker clearance.

for Use |
8103
black msds |

red msds |
| Ink Type |
Phenoxy with dye coloring agent |
| Colors |
Black,
Red |
| Characteristics |
Premium ink
with sodium and chloride levels
certified less than 10 PPM. Opaque and highly resistant to most
post-probe processes. Air dry or heat
set. Acetone
soluble prior to drying. Difficult to remove after cure. Flows consistently
after opening for 2-3 days in DM-2s and 2 days for DM-1s. Very high in viscosity yet dries rapidly at ambient
temperatures. Produces small dots. Ideal for continuous,
offline inking. |
