What INKS are used for Forms?
The use of the document determines the type of ink chosen. Laser safe inks, MICR magnetic inks, forms ink and water soluble inks are all possible choices as well as a variety of specialty inks available for special needs. Black is the standard colour and unless otherwise requested all work is printed in black ink. Other colours are available including specialty inks for special functions. If you are using more than one colour, choose your second, third, forth etc. colour from Industry Standard Pantone Colours. PMS books are available by order through our offices. We do not up charge for inks that are non-standard colours. Laser inks are specially designed to pass through laser printers without melting or running or leaving a residue on the printer drum. Non-laser inks will not work properly and may seriously damage printers. Forms that are printed in non laser printers, i.e. continuous forms or forms printed in ink jet or bubble jet printers do not require laser inks.
