Collins Ink TSK-1948 Shark Ink Cartridge - For PVC, PET, styrofoams, cartons

The Shark was developed for use in cartridges that are printing sideways onto styrofoam, PET, and paper cartons. The testing for this ink was done in a highly humid packaging environment. This ink was designed as a low maintenance ink that provides good adhesion, waterfastness, and decap with reasonable dry times.

Please note that because of the short 3 month shelf life these cartridges are made to order and drop shipped directly to you to maximize the cartridge life.  It usually takes 1 business day for the cartridges to be made.
