Sectors

Industries
we serve

Our inks are present in the most demanding production processes on the market. From luxury packaging to industrial signage, every formulation is designed to exceed industry standards.

From your substrate to the production batch

How your formula
is born

01Analysis Phase

Substrate

We study the microstructure, surface energy, and actual usage conditions of your substrate.

02Laboratory Phase

Formulation

We formulate the ink from scratch: viscosity, surface tension, and curing tailored to your process.

03Validation Phase

Real Testing

We print samples on your own material and subject them to adhesion and durability testing.

04Production Phase

Traceable Batch

We scale up to production with full traceability: every batch documented and repeatable.

Frequently Asked Questions · Custom Formulation

Before
formulating

What information do you need to formulate my ink? +
Three things: your substrate (the actual material being printed on), your process (machine type, printing technology, and curing method), and the end-use conditions (outdoor exposure, chemical contact, abrasion resistance, etc.). With these details, our laboratory establishes the starting point for the formulation.
How long does a custom development take? +
It depends on the complexity of the project: some formula adjustments can be resolved in a matter of days, while ground-up developments require several lab iterations and validation phases. After analyzing your case, we will provide a specific timeline before getting started.
Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)? +
We tailor batch sizes so you don’t have to overpurchase. Tell us your volume needs and we will propose a supply format that aligns with your consumption rate.
What properties can you fine-tune in the formula? +
Among others: viscosity, surface tension, curing type and speed, substrate adhesion, elasticity, UV resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and exact color matching. The formula is fine-tuned until the ink performs exactly as required on your machinery.
Is the developed formulation exclusive to my company? +
Custom developments are created under client specifications and covered by confidentiality agreements. If your project requires formal formula exclusivity, it will be contractually agreed upon before development begins.
How do I validate that the ink works before production? +
Through laboratory samples printed directly on your substrate, subjected to relevant testing for your use case (adhesion, UV aging, chemical resistance, etc.). We only scale to full production once validation is completely successful.
