Replacement Fluids

Squid Ink manufactures superior quality ink jet fluids designed for a wide variety of ink jet printing systems. In fact, Squid Ink offers one oft the most complete line of drop-on-demand (DOD) inks in the industry today. Our DOD products include formulations for the most common printing systems, and are packaged in 100% compatible, direct replacement containers.

Lower Downtime and Maintenance Costs

Squid Ink manufactures water-based DOD inks for use in printers manufactured by Marsh®, Videojet®, Diagraph®, Matthews®, Loveshaw®, and others. Customers using Squid Ink DOD fluids often experience longer machine life, less downtime, and lower maintenance costs than when they use competitive products.

Plug and Print With 100% Compatible Containers

Squid Ink manufactures quality replacement inks compatible with some of the most common ink jet systems in the marketplace. We also package these inks in 100% compatible containers, eliminating adaptors, fittings, or add-on units. These products include 100% compatible containers for Matthews® 1-liter bottle, Domino® bag-in-a-box, and 5-gallon pail for all original equipment manufacturers. With Squid Ink, simply replace the container and continue printing.

Rest Easy With A No-Risk Warranty

Squid Ink stands by the product line with a comprehensive warranty. Squid Ink guarantees that all fluids will be free of defects and will not cause damage to ink jet printers when used under conditions for which the product was manufactured. Squid Ink will replace or provide full credit for products which we supply that are defective and returned by the customer.
