INX to Launch New Beverage Can Digital Ink at Cannex Fillex

Since 1994, the Cannex Fillex World Canmaking Congress has provided an international stage for the introduction of the newest and best canmaking and filling technologies from around the world. For INX International, this year will be no exception.

Returning to North America for the first time since 2019, the event will be held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, April 29-May 1. As the worldwide metal decorating leader, INX is an influential force in developing new metal packaging inks that resonate with brand owners and consumers. The next big thing is INXJet MDLM UV Curable Inkjet ink, a regulatory compliant solution.

“This new digital can ink represents another remarkable achievement from our award-winning R&D group,” said Renee Schouten, VP of marketing at INX.

“Brand owners who place an emphasis on outstanding print quality, performance, and efficiency will discover how this ink set is the perfect solution. The INXJet MDLM platform is engineered for seamless compatibility with a variety of printhead technologies, so they can expect to see bolder colors, sharper details, and greater image clarity.”

Schouten said in addition to the digital can ink introduction, INX will offer Cannex visitors a wide variety of options that can help them get products to market faster in a more efficient way.

“At last year’s Cannex show, we introduced a pair of unique, 2-piece black and white inks that improve color balance, viscosity, and flow for optimal performance. We have continued our commitment to the metal decorating industry by investing in new technologies, expanding our offerings, and developing more sustainable solutions. We also upgraded the INX Color Catalog with a substantial addition of new ink color swatches. This has heavily influenced brand owners who, in larger numbers than ever before, consider it to be an essential guide in their decision-making process.”

As the industry’s true standard for color accuracy and consistency, the INX Color Catalog has grown to more than 650 metal color swatches. The proprietary numbering system connects to identical INX colors through the INX Digital Color Library plug-in available for Adobe design programs.

Schouten said INX will feature various metal packaging and next generation sustainable inks in booth 509. Specialized inks for flat sheet, aerosol, and monobloc containers are formulated to meet the demands of conventional, UV, and inkjet technologies.

“Each year INX develops more new and advanced sustainable products and solutions. Our efforts focus on driving performance and reducing the impact on the environment, all without sacrificing performance,” she noted.

“We view this event as the future of metal decorating. If you want to achieve better results and grow your business, we have solutions that can boost your speed and durability, accelerate your production capabilities, and simplify your regulatory compliance concerns.”
