5 Ltr CIJ Printing Ink

Here’s a breakdown of CIJ (Continuous Ink Jet) inks for Control Print / Alphajet / similar brands, what to look for, and some supplier & product options within India. If you tell me your printer model & what substrate you print on (plastic, metal, etc.), I can narrow further.
✅ What to Look for in Good CIJ Ink (for Control Print, Alphajet, etc.)
When choosing CIJ inks, especially for “Control Print” / “Alphajet” type machines, these are the key parameters:
FeatureWhy It MattersInk vs Makeup / SolventIn CIJ systems, “ink” is what does the marking. The “makeup” fluid is used to maintain viscosity, clean the system, help droplet formation. Both must be compatible.Dry-time / Cure timeFaster drying / evaporation is needed especially on non-porous & fast moving lines, else smearing.AdhesionMust stick well to the substrate you use (plastic, metal, glass, coated paper etc.). Not all inks work well on all materials.Opacity / ContrastFor dark substrates, you need white or pigmented inks; for light ones, dye-based may suffice.Chemical / heat / UV / food resistanceIf your product is later washed, exposed to heat, sunlight, oils, or contact food, then choose inks that are resistant.Safety & ComplianceFor food / pharma packaging, inks must comply with relevant regulations (FDA, BIS, etc.), low toxic solvents, etc.Cost & AvailabilityMake sure consumables are easily available locally, spare parts too. Cheaper ink with poor performance can cost more in downtime.Shelf life & StorageSolvents evaporate; inks degrade. Manufacturer’s storage recommendations matter.Compatibility with your printer head / nozzle (drop size, pressure), with its electronics, filters etc.
