Red Fluorescing Dry Ink
Description
The difference you can see ... sometimes
Kodak NexPress Red Fluorescing Dry Ink is another addition to the Kodak NexPress Fifth Imaging Solutions portfolio. This innovative ink is clear when printed on top of images and graphics, and is virtually invisible. When it is illuminated with an ultraviolet light source, however, it fluoresces a red color. The intensity of the red can be controlled by the amount of NexPress Red Fluorescing Dry Ink that is printed on the page.
Red Fluorescing Dry Ink is applied inline, is ideal wherever visible barcodes are used for workflow automation, mailing systems and MIS connectivity, including:
- Security applications that are hard to duplicate with normal photo-copiers or inkjet printers
- On-demand books
- Photo books
- Personalized workflow tracking
- 2D barcodes
NexPress Red Fluorescing Dry Ink removes the need to post-finish trim or create the design workarounds that have traditionally been used to eliminate or minimize intrusion of the barcode for your end customers. It is also a cost-effective way to add validation features to a variety of documents. You could even add hidden messages to photos, graphics and documents!
Good for your business, better for the planet.
Like all NexPress Fifth Imaging Unit Solutions, Red Fluorescing creates prints that are recyclable. The Dry Ink does not require any special de-inking process and uses no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). You’ll be able to produce prints that drive more profit per page and are environmentally responsible.
