CIJ inks
The fluid your coder actually prints with. We stock MEK-based and ethanol-based formulations across the whole colour set, plus the specials — pigmented white for dark substrates, food-grade low-migration for primary packs, and high-adhesion grades that survive a retort cycle.
A continuous inkjet printer is only as reliable as the fluid inside it. The wrong viscosity band and the printer chases its own viscometer all shift; the wrong solvent and the printhead gums up between runs. Every ink we ship is matched to a specific printer family and a specific substrate, not sold as a generic bottle.
Each batch leaves with a certificate of analysis — viscosity, conductivity, dry time and colour against the reference. If a batch ever prints differently from the one before it, that certificate is where we start looking.
The range
-
General purpose black
MEK-based, fast drying. The default for cartons, films and PET.
-
Pigmented white
For dark substrates — black cable, brown board, dark glass. Needs a stirrer-equipped core.
-
Food-grade low migration
For printing on primary food packaging. Ships with a food-contact declaration.
-
High adhesion / glass
Bonds to glass, coated metal and hard plastics that reject general-purpose ink.
-
Retort resistant
Holds the code through autoclave and hot-fill cycles.
-
Low odour ethanol
For pharma clean rooms and anywhere MEK odour is not acceptable.
-
UV readable / invisible
Reads under UV only. Used for track-and-trace and anti-counterfeit marks.
-
Egg and produce grade
Edible-approved formulations for shell eggs and fresh produce.
-
Cable and wire
Fast-fixing, abrasion resistant, survives extrusion line handling.
-
Colour set — Y / R / B / G
Yellow, red, blue and green for colour-coded batch and shift marking.

Brand names identify the equipment this range is made to fit. Runicha Enterprises is an independent supplier and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an agent of those manufacturers. Tell us your model and we will confirm the exact grade.
- Tell us the printer model and the substrate and we will send the matching grade. Ink, make-up and cleaner are a set — mixing families is what kills printheads.
- Pigmented inks settle. If a line runs intermittently, order the smaller pack more often rather than a large pack that sits.
Replenishment fluid
Make-up & solvents
The solvent your coder drinks all day. Matched to the ink family so viscosity stays in band.

Wash & flush
Cleaning solutions
Printhead wash, service flush and cabinet cleaner — the fluids that decide how long a head lasts.

Thermal inkjet
TIJ cartridges
Sealed thermal inkjet cartridges — solvent and water based, for porous and non-porous packs.
