Investing in environmental research, new equipment, and new technologies for water-based ink is a huge part of our commitment to providing printing solutions not just for now, but for the future as well.

Where does it come from?

Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum

Water-based inks are a durable, high-quality option for substrates like:

  • Product packaging
  • Concert tickets
  • Lottery tickets
  • Flexible packaging
  • And more

While our equipment and technologies may change over time, our focus remains the same: consistently producing high-quality and eco-conscious inks at prices that move our industry forward.

Water-based DOD Ink

Kao Collins offers a wide variety of high-speed, water-based inkjet inks for Piezo DOD printheads. Dye-based and pigment-based CMYK ink sets are available for porous and lightly-coated materials. Many of our dye-based and pigment-based inks are standard inks, but some are specially-formulated for specific requirements. If you need an ink with special performance capabilities, we can create custom inks that are built specifically for your needs and requirements.

Safe Inks, Secure Future

Gone Forever
We’re at the forefront of eliminating PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from food packaging. These “forever chemicals” pose health risks and don’t break down in the environment.

Being Prepared
Safety is a top priority at Kao Collins. Our approach to ink formulation is forward-focused, ensuring that potential risks are addressed long before they become mandatory compliance requirements.
