Manual mixing wastes a significant proportion of your expensive ink. That’s ink on your hands. Ink left in the tins. Skins, drips and streaks where you don’t need them. Cleaning up is a tedious, unproductive and time-consuming chore. The wasted ink – and cleaning solvents – are harmful to the environment.

With ColorMatic, the ink goes exactly where it should go. And nowhere else. The advanced compressed-air system extracts virtually every drop of ink from the tin. Leaving it so clean that you can dispose of it as normal refuse. As environmental regulations get stricter, you’ll be glad you had the foresight to deal with the problem of waste disposal.

ColorMatic extracts virtually every drop of ink from the tin.

People like you inspired the concept of ColorMatic. For three years, our engineering team refined the concept in close co-operation with printers to meet the highest standards in terms of functionality and quality. The ColorMatic ID- 2500 is designed to serve printers using small to mediumsize ink batches, an ideal solution for printers who frequently use spot colours in their production. Our customers represent a variety of printers such as label printers, envelope printers, business forms printers, plastic cup printers, packaging printers, business stationery printers-, and security printers. Our patented dosing principle even allows the use of high-viscosity UV inks. To meet an increasing demand from printers as well as printing ink manufacturers, we launched the ColorMatic ID-5000, based on the ID-2500 but with possibilities to add external pumps to feed the most frequently used ink from drums. The ID-5000 is a turnkey industrial solution designed for larger ink batches, suitable for both printers and ink manufacturers.

When you replace tins, the transparent cover panel slides up out of the way automatically.
