DOD Ink
DOD Ink (Drop on Demand Ink) MEK Based Industrial Inkjet Ink
High-Performance Coding & Marking Solution
DOD Ink, or Drop on Demand Ink, is a specialized industrial printing ink designed for high-speed, precise coding and marking on a wide range of non-porous and porous surfaces. At Iran Chemical Mine, we supply premium MEK-based inks formulated for excellent adhesion, quick drying, and long-term durability on materials such as plastics, metals, glass, films, and coated papers.
What is DOD Ink?
Drop on Demand (DOD) ink is used in industrial inkjet printers where ink droplets are ejected only when required—ensuring minimal waste and maximum accuracy. Unlike continuous inkjet (CIJ) systems, DOD technology allows high-resolution printing with precise droplet control, making it ideal for batch codes, barcodes, expiration dates, serial numbers, and product traceability applications.
