Description
Application
The D2-INK automatic ink dispenser is a high-performance automated fluid dispensing system engineered for the printing and ink industries. It excels in the precise verification of spot color and ink return formulas, ensuring your color matches are perfect every time.
Highlights
The D2-INK ink dispenser excels at spot color formula verification, enabling printing houses to match Pantone and custom colors with 0.02ml minimum discharge volume and 0.02g balance accuracy. This level of precision ensures consistent color reproduction across multiple print runs.
Streamline your ink return process with rapid formula validation. The D2-INK ink dispenser allows operators to quickly verify and adjust returned ink formulas, reducing waste and improving material utilization in high-volume printing environments.
Unlike many ink dispensers limited to water-based colorants, the D2-INK ink dispenser is engineered to handle solvent-based inks – a critical requirement for flexo, gravure, and industrial printing applications.
With a minimum injection volume of just 0.02ml, the D2-INK ink dispenser sets a new standard for precision in ink dispensing equipment. This enables accurate small-batch formulation and reduces costly material waste.
The D2-INK ink dispenser supports an optional electronic balance that provides real-time gravimetric feedback, further improving dosing accuracy and ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for mission-critical color formulations.

System Components
The D2-INK ink dispensing system comprises eight integrated modules, each designed to support precision color management in printing applications:
Multiple sealed canisters store base inks and colorants, ensuring stable storage, contamination prevention, and consistent ink supply for dispensing operations.
Industrial-grade piston or gear pumps deliver accurate and repeatable ink dosing, supporting stable formulation across different ink viscosities.
Anti-drip, corrosion-resistant valves ensure clean, controlled dispensing with high accuracy, minimizing material waste and maintenance needs.
Equipped with a built-in blade shaft in every canister, this system rotates automatically to prevent material sedimentation. It ensures uniform ink quality for consistent color performance.
High-precision load cells provide real-time gravimetric feedback, ensuring accurate dosing and improving batch-to-batch consistency.
Intelligent PLC-based control with a user-friendly interface enables recipe management, real-time monitoring, and stable automated operation.
Supports formula management, ink tracking, and production data control, enabling efficient color matching and seamless production workflow integration.
Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant frame ensures machine stability, durability, and reliable performance in continuous industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the D2 -INK ink dispenser used for?
The D2-INK ink dispenser is designed for precise ink and colorant dosing in printing, coatings, and industrial color matching applications. It enables accurate formula preparation and supports consistent color reproduction for both small-batch and production-scale use.
How does the D2-INK ink dispenser ensure dosing accuracy?
The system uses high-precision piston pumps combined with intelligent control software to deliver exact ink quantities for each formula. This reduces human error, improves repeatability, and ensures stable color consistency across different batches.
Does the D2-INK ink dispenser include integrated dispensing systems for formula management?
Yes, the D2-INK ink dispenser comes equipped with our proprietary dispensing systems. This intuitive platform allows users to store thousands of complex formulas, track real-time inventory levels, and generate detailed consumption reports. The system also supports seamless integration with spectrophotometers, enabling a closed-loop color correction workflow that significantly reduces material waste and manual calculation errors.
How does theD2-INK ink dispenser minimize maintenance and cross-contamination?
To ensure purity in laboratory settings, Sightec’s D2-INK ink dispenser features a precision-engineered anti-drip nozzle system and independent fluid paths for each colorant. This modular design effectively eliminates the risk of cross-contamination between different batches. Additionally, the ink dispenser includes automated agitation and circulation functions to prevent pigment sedimentation, ensuring the machine is always ready for immediate use with minimal manual cleaning required.
What types of inks can theD2-INK ink dispenser handle?
The D2-INK ink dispenser is compatible with both water-based and solvent-based inks. Its robust pump and valve system handles a wide range of viscosities, making it suitable for flexo, gravure, screen printing, and industrial coating applications.
How is the D2-INK ink dispenser cleaned?
There are two cleaning methods.
The first method uses a small tray. Thinner or ethyl acetate is poured into the tray. Inside the tray is a white sponge. The sponge absorbs the thinner or ethyl acetate. As the material passes through the outlet, it rubs against the sponge, and this friction removes the material.
The second method uses a small brush. This small brush cleans away any material residue that the sponge has not removed.
