  1. Which Are the Most Suitable Inks for Metal Print Metal is one of the most versatile material which is used in almost every walk of life from food packaging to surgical instruments, metal hoardings and much more. In many cases like aluminium beverage cans, metal food boxes, and others require printing on metal. Here the first thing that you should look for is good ink for metal print. Metal print is not just useful in the food industry, but also in others and in fact even aircrafts have printed logos and messages on them. Only an ink formulation compatible with the substrate will allow for the successful printing of this kind of product. Codes are destined to be low-resolution, disorganised, and ultimately unreadable and they cannot even be scanned properly when they are printed with an unsuitable ink on a non-porous substance like metal. The following information will help you locate ink for metal printing: Metal is a non-porous substance that prevents the ink from sinking below the surface. This is the reason that fast-drying formulas must be used to apply codes so that they are clear and readable. The actual workplace itself presents another difficulty for metal printing. Extreme climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and high humidity, are frequently seen in facilities that make or package items using metal. Thankfully the reliable and reputable ink manufacturers are well-equipped to provideink for metal print with formulas which are compatible with metal and are able to accommodate challenging conditions. The majority of practical manufacturers making inks for printing on metal are currently using solvent based formulas. This is because the solvent based inks dry very fast and the codes printed using them are durable. The best part is that these inks can accommodate – moisture presence, surface texture, sunlight resistant, material temperature (for hot and cold surfaces) colour of the material, presence of oil or alcohol. As a result of these qualities solvent based inks are the best option for metal printing.
