Multisolve inks and InkMark substrates yield vibrant, durable results

Direct Color Systems provides you with everything you need to create products well suited for industrial use. The vibrant colors of our Multisolve Inks combined with the durability of our InkMark substrates can be used to create warning or danger signs, dial faces, machine labels, or any other industrial item. The result is a virtually scratch resistant image that most cleaners and chemicals cannot harm or alter.

• Use one of our custom print modes, such as InkMark 2880x1440 IR4 Normal and then print as you normally would. Our InkMark print modes will print clear and color ink simultaneously.

• Our laserable InkMark DR products are an excellent and simple way to utilize the vast amount of applications possible for industrial use. Designing in the preferred software, the user can create cut lines that transfer from the printed sheet of InkMark to the laser.

Videos featuring these applications are coming soon. Keep checking our YouTube site for updates.

Featured Customer: McGee's Stamp &Trophy

Featured Customer: McGee's Stamp &Trophy"The ability to print color name badges was not available to us before we teamed with DCS more than 12 years ago. Over the years, we feel that DCS has helped us stay on top of current trends in the industry and kept us ahead of our competition.

"The company behind the machines is very important to me. We enjoy our relationship with the people at DCS, from Gene for tech support to Heather making sure we have the supplies we need to do our work. Their printers have opened us up to more profit opportunities and also have kept our customers supplied with the products they need. I would have hated to see people go elsewhere for their color printing needs and find that someone else could provide them with the products we have been supplying them with for years. Our DCS printers have allowed us to meet the demands of customers both large and small and continue to hold onto that business for the long haul.

"On a daily basis, we run our original Badger -- it's 12 years old and still running strong -- and a pair of Millennium 590 printers for name and ID badges, plus a newer Direct Jet 1320 for everything from badges to full-color plates for plaques. We just love our DCS printers and what they do for us. We're glad we made the connection with DCS and continue to treasure it."
