DOD Ink Applications in Industrial Printing and Product Marking

Faragam Company – Innovating Industrial Coding with DOD Ink Technology

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, precision marking and reliable product identification are essential.
DOD Ink (Drop on Demand Ink) plays a key role in modern industrial printing and coding systems, allowing accurate, high-speed printing on diverse materials such as metal, glass, plastic, and packaging films.

At Faragam Company, we specialize in producing and supplying MEK-based DOD inks that deliver exceptional adhesion, fast drying, and long-term durability—making them the preferred choice for many industries worldwide.

What is DOD Ink and How Does It Work?

DOD Ink, short for Drop on Demand Ink, is used in industrial inkjet printers that release tiny ink droplets only when required.
This precise ejection mechanism minimizes ink waste while providing sharp, clean, and permanent printing on both porous and non-porous surfaces.

Faragam’s DOD inks are solvent-based, primarily formulated with MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) to ensure instant drying and high chemical resistance—even under challenging production conditions.

Main Applications of DOD Ink Across Industries

1. Food and Beverage Packaging

In the food and beverage industry, DOD inks are widely used for printing expiry dates, batch codes, production details, and traceability information on bottles, cans, and flexible packaging.
Faragam’s fast-drying MEK-based DOD ink ensures smudge-free printing even on glossy or laminated surfaces like PET bottles and metal cans.

Typical applications include:

  • Carbonated beverage cans

  • PET bottles and glass jars

  • Foil-laminated snack packs and pouches

2. Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Products

Accuracy and permanence are vital in the pharmaceutical sector, where DOD inks are used for coding barcodes, lot numbers, and expiry details on blister packs, cartons, and medical containers.

Faragam DOD inks offer:

  • Non-transferable, solvent-resistant prints

  • Excellent readability on coated cartons and aluminum foils

  • Compliance with high hygiene and traceability standards

3. Cable and Wire Marking

Cable manufacturers rely on DOD ink technology for continuous, high-contrast printing on PVC, rubber, and polyethylene insulation.
Faragam DOD inks resist heat, bending, and abrasion, maintaining clear marks even during cable coiling or installation.

Common uses:

  • Electrical cable printing

  • Fiber optic and communication wire marking

  • Industrial pipe and tubing identification

4. Construction and Building Materials

The construction industry uses DOD inks to print directly on pipes, ceramic tiles, cement bags, and insulation panels.
Faragam’s robust formulations ensure that the printed text or logo remains readable even after handling, storage, or outdoor exposure.

Advantages include:

  • Excellent adhesion on rough and porous surfaces

  • UV and moisture resistance

  • Long-lasting visibility under harsh environments

5. Metal, Glass, and Plastic Products

From automotive components to household packaging, non-porous materials require inks that bond instantly and resist removal.
Faragam’s MEK-based DOD inks provide exceptional grip and contrast on:

  • Aluminum sheets and metal cans

  • Glass bottles and ampoules

  • Hard plastics such as PVC, PET, and ABS
