Contrast Inks

Ability of printing a variety of colours

• We have a range of contrasting ink colours to suit a variety of packaging materials. Whether it be yellow, blue or white, when printed onto substrates they are all incredibly vivid and exceptional quality.

Strong pigmenting inks

• Often when you have contrasting inks in bright colours, the print quality can diminish. With Matthews range of contrast inks, you can have the peace of mind that your codes and text will still have the same exceptional print quality as general-purpose black inks produces. This is thanks to the high concentrate of pigment based in the ink, so it can be easily seen and stand out once applied to a substrate.

• Being a MEK based ink, our range of contrast inks are resistant to harsh environmental conditions (such as light, hot, wet and dusty environments) making them ideal for industrial environments, where a high-quality print still needs to be achieved. They can easily print onto wire, tubes, metal, plastic and pipe.
