CIJ technology uses two consumables: ink and make-up fluid. Make-up fluid is mixed with the ink to always ensure proper chemistry of the printed fluid is maintained. Part of its function is used to "make-up" for the solvent that is evaporated during the CIJ process to ensure consistent ink performance.

Good performance demands fluid formulated to avoid chemical reaction — make-up fluid and ink must be highly compatible and tuned to prevent poor printer operation, increased maintenance cost and downtime. Our CIJ category offers the following product lines:
