Watershield™ Ink Technology

Enhanced durability for water-exposed labels

Watershield-printed labels are significantly more resistant to the effects of prolonged moisture exposure than conventional dye-based inkjet labels1. This makes the L801 Plus perfect for applications such as chilled beverages, foods, chemical or pharmaceutical products. This new technology also produces deeper and more neutral blacks.

  • Enhanced water resistance

    Enhanced Water Resistance

    Watershield-printed labels are much better at resisting the effects of moisture than those printed using traditional inkjet.

  • More neutral black chroma

    More Neutral Black Chroma

    Blacks and grays are more neutral in color, providing truer tones with less color tinting.

  • Safer chemical compositions

    Safer Chemical Compositions

    Watershield inks carry much less severe chemical warnings than traditional inkjet, UV, solvent, or liquid toner inks.

    These inks are free from phthalate esters, benzophenone, bisphenol-A (BPA), HAPs – Hazardous Air Pollutants, SVHCs, heavy metals, and aromatic amines.
