One of the best, most popular solvents for ink jet printers is MEK. MEK is a versatile chemical solvent with a high evaporation rate, and for this reason is one of the preferred solvents for ink jet printers. Due to its high evaporation rate, inks produced with MEK have the ability to dry quickly. This is a particularly important quality for ink to have when being used with ink jet printers. These printers are often used to print labels for consumer goods that contain pertinent information such as expiration dates, prescription information, and safety & use instructions. These labels are typically printed using continuous ink jet printers, and as inks produced with MEK are fast drying, this dramatically reduces the risk of smudging. If you are looking for the best solvent for ink jet printers that will dry quickly and ensure readability, MEK from Ecolink may be just what you need.
