Pneumatic Ink Cartridges (DM-2 & DM-2.3)

Used with DieMark Pneumatic Ink Hardware

The heart of all pneumatic inking systems is the DieMark DM-2 disposable ink cartridge. The DM-2 is pre-filled and factory tuned to eliminate labor intensive inker related delays in the test area: ink mixing, refilling, adjustments, cleaning and rework. DM-2 contains 60% more ink than standard DieMark cartridges ensuring consistent dots and long life at any speed.

The DM-2 has a polypropylene ink reservoir, which is sealed by a threaded cap at the top and a thin membrane at the bottom. The traditional fishline has been replaced by a small Teflon tube encased in a stainless steel needle. When the cartridge is opened, the needle punctures the reservoir to provide ink flow.

Filament Cartridges (DM-1, DM-1.25, DM-S)

Used with DieMark Electric Ink Hardware

Electric (solenoid driven) inkers utilize DieMark cartridges for the ultimate inking solution. DieMark cartridges offer reliable, consistent, trouble free operation with the benefit of a disposable unit. Pre-filled factory tuned cartridges are easy to use - no adjusting, refilling or cleaning.

All inks utilized in the cartridges have been selected to produce consistent dots over a wide range of speeds without dripping, or skipping.

Three needle configurations are available to afford optimal visual/physical inker clearance. DM-1 cartridges have a 0.75 inch needle, DM-1.25 cartridges have a 1.25 inch needle and DM-S cartridges have an S-curved needle.
