INX to launch new beverage can digital ink at Cannex Fillex

Since 1994, the Cannex Fillex World Canmaking Congress has provided an international stage for the introduction of the newest and best canmaking and filling technologies from around the world. For INX International, this year will be no exception.

Returning to North America for the first time since 2019, the event will be held at the Colorado Convention Centre in Denver, April 29-May 1. INX (booth 509) is an influential force in developing remarkable new metal packaging inks that resonate with brand owners and consumers. The next big thing is INXJet MDLM UV Curable Inkjet ink, a regulatory compliant solution which raises the bar for digital can decorators.

“This new digital can ink represents another remarkable achievement from our award-winning R&D group,” stated Renee Schouten, vice president of marketing at INX.

“Brand owners who place an emphasis on outstanding print quality, performance, and efficiency will discover how this inkset is the perfect solution. The INXJet MDLM platform is engineered for seamless compatibility with a variety of printhead technologies, so they can expect to see bolder colours, sharper details, and greater image clarity.”

Schouten said in addition to the digital can ink introduction, INX will offer Cannex visitors a wide variety of options that can help them get products to market faster in a more efficient way.

“At last year’s Cannex show, we introduced a pair of unique, 2-piece black and white inks that improve colour balance, viscosity, and flow for optimal performance. We have continued our commitment to the metal decorating industry by investing in new technologies, expanding our offerings, and developing more sustainable solutions. We also upgraded the INX Colour Catalogue with a substantial addition of new ink colour swatches. This has heavily influenced brand owners who, in larger numbers than ever before, consider it to be an essential guide in their decision-making process.” 

As the industry’s true standard for colour accuracy and consistency, the INX Colour Catalogue has grown to more than 650 metal colour swatches. The proprietary numbering system connects to identical INX colours through the INX Digital Colour Library plug-in available for Adobe design programs.

The catalogue serves as a keystone feature of the INX Color Perfection program, which also includes access to the free INX University program. A curriculum of online courses, ranging from metal decorating and colour management to troubleshooting and more, will satisfy the quest for knowledge of industry veterans and newcomers alike.

“Each year INX develops more new and advanced sustainable products and solutions. Our efforts focus on driving performance and reducing the impact on the environment, all without sacrificing performance,” Schouten acknowledged.

“We view this event as the future of metal decorating. If you want to achieve better results and grow your business, we have solutions that can boost your speed and durability, accelerate your production capabilities, and simplify your regulatory compliance concerns.”
