Explore Our Types of Marking Inks

Pigmented inks are heavily bodied and show up well on both dark and light colored surfaces. Pigmented inks exhibit a greater chemical and wash resistance than dye-type inks. The pigmented marking fluids are available in a rainbow of colors and various dry times. From fast drying acetone-based marking fluids to high-flash, slow-drying pigmented marking fluids, we have a variety of products to suit your needs.

Dye type inks are noted for their non-settling and non-plugging characteristics and are often useful in marking applications with low “through-put” such as reject marking. Dye types are excellent on light colored or bright metal surfaces. Carco marking inks are available in eight transparent colors and various dry times. Dry times range from 10 seconds to 15 minutes depending on your needs.

Water removable inks are available in both dye type and pigmented versions. These water-soluble marking fluids are designed to be water “wash off.” In addition, most water-soluble inks are non-flammable, non-toxic and non-hazardous. The water-based fluids are available in eight dye type transparent and a rainbow of pigmented colors. These various marking fluids can be easily removed with water or excellent for reject marking.
