Food grade inks Inks used in CIJ printers for coding onto pharmaceutical products are subject to regulations set out by either United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Union (EU). Linx food grade inks are designed to meet these regulations and can be used to code in both food and pharmaceutical applications. For both applications, regulations may vary between countries, so suitability should always be checked locally with regulators prior to use. For a full profile of each ink, including printer compatibility, refer to the ‘Summary of the Linx range of dye-based inks’ datasheet.
