Make-up & solvents
Make-up is not a spare — it is a running cost. A continuous inkjet printer evaporates solvent every second the jet is on, and the machine tops itself up to hold viscosity. Get the grade right and the printer forgets it exists. Get it wrong and it fights the viscometer until the print goes soft.
We supply make-up matched to each ink family we sell, in the same pack format as the ink so it drops straight into the cabinet. MEK-based make-up for the general-purpose and high-adhesion inks, ethanol-based for the low-odour and pharma grades.
Consumption is predictable once you know the line: hours running, ambient temperature and how often the printhead is left open. Send us those three numbers and we will size a standing order so you stop running out on a Friday evening.

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.
- Never substitute a cleaner for make-up. Cleaning solution is formulated to dissolve dried ink, not to hold a print jet stable.
- Make-up and ink must come from the same family. A mismatched pair changes conductivity, and the charge electrode stops placing drops accurately.
