New, Fast Drying Black Ink From Matthews

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, March 2001 - Matthews International Corporation offers a new ink for both porous and non-porous substrates.

The ink is designed for short dry times and excellent adhesion on most substrates. This ink has undergone extensive testing in our laboratories to assure optimum printing parameters. Testing was a success on many non-porous substrates such as metals, plastics, textiles, coated paper and others.

The SCP-700 Black Ink was designed for use with the S.C.I. F.I.TM 3200 Ink-Jet Printing System. The ink will presently only be offered in Black. Development of others colors will continue and be released upon their successful formulation and testing.

To meet the demands of different applications, Matthews offers a wide variety of ink formulas in a broad spectrum of colors. Included in this array are environmentally friendly inks for porous substrates.
