Marking Ink

Marking or coding inks used for wire and cable identification can be solvent-based or water-based and may be used in contact printers with a print wheel, or in non-contact ink jet printers and high-speed bandmarking/ringmarking equipment. The choice for the correct marking inks is dictated by the substrate to be marked, the application parameters (including line speed, legend requirements, and position of the printer on the line), as well as the marking equipment itself.
