What ink is it?
Posted by Glen Mathers on March 7, 2011 at 4:22 pmI just bought a job lot of tapes from an auction and also in the lot was 8x1lrs bottles of printing ink(i think) and 200 head swabs, the bottle are made buy Sun Chemicals and the inks are Streamline, does anybody know anything about these inks? i don’t use them, i don’t do prints, i’m just wanting to know what i’ve got.
Cheers

I have very limited knowledge on Ink, but know Sun Chemical is a reputable Ink manufacturer. as for the Ink itself, haven’t a clue mate… the word "Screen" on the side would tend to mean its screen printing ink. but i could be completely wrong on that too.
great bunch of help i am eh? :lol1:

I thought with the word "screen" on it would have been for screen printing but all the inks are like water, do screen printing inks have a thick consistency?
-
yeh now you say it mate, i would think so too. our screen inks we used for curtain sider trucks are in a tin and like treacle as you say. :lol1: that’s stumped me now….
told you, you shouldn’t listen to me. 😳 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

If it is Streamline it is an ink for a digital printer.
In this instance, SUN Chemical Streamline 0919 are solvent inks for Roland printers.
SWFPK-0919 Black – 1000ml
SWFPC-0919 Cyan – 1000ml
SWFPM-0919 Magenta – 1000ml
SWFPY-0919 Yellow – 1000ml
SWFLC-0919 Light Cyan – 1000ml
SWFLM-0919 Light Magenta – 1000mlIronically whilst they smell strong, they actually use chemicals that are not as nasty as some other inks that have no odour at all.

Thanks Justin, do you know if it’s outdoor ink and would it run in a Roland CJ500?

This ink is designed for DX4 heads in Roland Pro2/3 and versacamms, as far as im aware.
I think the CJ500 has a DX2 Print Head, so no, I wouldn’t risk it!
Thanks,

Hi, We may be interested in acquiring some of these. I don’t know whether i can put e-mail address or phone number on here!

We had these installed on our old CJ500 just flushed and cleaned all the pipes and heads out thoroughly. Its a good ink as we used to leave the machine for days and just start printing again with no problems of blocked nozzles or anything. Quite a reasonable price when we where buying them
