Case Study: Eliminating Downtime and Blockages with Perfecta® Limitless Plus
Background A customer required reliable printing of a batch number and best before date for quality control and regulatory requirements
What is POLYtij®?
Next-generation inkjet printing — powered by polymer resins.
At Digital Ink Technologies, we’re proud to offer our exclusive POLYtij® polymer thermal inkjet technology, engineered to outperform conventional solvent-based inks in HPTIJ2.5 industrial printers.
Why POLYtij® Is Different
Unlike cheaper dye-based or solvent inks that rely on absorption, POLYtij® inks are formulated with polymer resins — advanced bonding agents that adhere to surfaces through adsorption, forming durable connections on materials like:
- Polypropylene & polyethylene
- HDPE, BOPP, PET, PVC
- Glass, metals, coated foils, and pharma-grade substrates
These resins deliver unmatched adhesion, resilience, and versatility across the toughest packaging conditions.
POLYtij® Intervention-Free Inks are built for Production.
Not Downtime.
Whether your production line stops for 1min, 30 minutes or 3 days, POLYtij® picks up right where it left off — no operator maintenance, no quality loss.
Our intervention-free inks deliver:
72 to 90-hour decap/open time
first print perfect, even after days of idle time
No wiping, no capping, no repriming
You just don’t touch the cartridge, period!
24-month shelf life
Ink chemistry is high stable , offering extended ink life
Smooth performance
in all in cold, humid, or water-exposed environments
How It Works
Traditional TIJ inks dry out quickly mainly due to poor kogation (Gradual and inevitable degradation), causing nozzle blockages that ruin printer cartridge uptime. POLYtij® uses advanced rheologies which incorporate polymer resins that stay primed and stable inside the printhead, even when idle — a breakthrough we call intervention free technology.
- Level One: 30-minute decap time, medium to fast continuous production lines
- Level Two: 72-hour open time, designed for slow, medium and fast production lines
- Level Three: 90-hour open time with no wiping or capping, designed for slow, medium and fast production lines
These levels define our product tiers — from Adhesion+50 to Perfecta Limitless Plus, each suited to different industrial demands.
OTHER HPTIJ2.5 SOLVENT BASED INKS
Standard HPTIJ2.5 Technology utilises ABSORPTION
Absorption occurs when molecules pass into a bulky material. An everyday example of this is a paper towel absorbing water – imagine water evenly permeating a paper towel as it soaks it up. The ratio of absorption depends on factors like concentration levels of the substance being absorbed, exposed surface area, and pressure.
POLYtij® POLYMER THERMAL INKJET TECHNOLOGY
Unique HPTIJ2.5 Technology utilises ADSORPTION
Adsorption is a process in which atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance adhere to a surface (of the adsorbent). Our unique POLYtij® inks utilise polymer resins which are bonding agents and can form strong bonds with various substrates such as metals, plastics, wood, glass, ceramics and composite materials.
