FAQ
Which Sightec automatic dispensing machine works with ink management software?
Our ink management software is designed to work seamlessly with all Sightec automatic dispensing machines. Additionally, the software features a multi-language interface to suit your regional needs.
How does the ink management software reuse leftover ink for new spot colors?
Our software features a smart “Leftover Ink Data Retrieval & Auto-Formula” function. It eliminates manual calculations by automatically deducting existing leftover ink from your target formula and telling your dispensing machine exactly how much new ink to add.
Example Scenario:
You have 10kg of leftover ink (2kg Red, 5kg Yellow, 3kg Base). You need to produce 20kg of a new spot color. The system automatically calculates the exact top-up amounts:
Red: Target 5kg – Existing 2kg = Add 3kg
Yellow: Target 6kg – Existing 5kg = Add 1kg
Base (Varnish): Target 8kg – Existing 3kg = Add 5kg
Black: Target 1kg – Existing 0kg = Add 1kg
By maximizing the reuse of leftover ink, the software significantly reduces ink waste and hazardous waste disposal costs.
