Watershield™ Technology

Enhanced durability for water-exposed labels

Watershield-printed labels are significantly more resistant to the effects of prolonged moisture exposure than conventional dye-based inkjet labels1. This makes the L801 Plus is perfect for applications such as chilled beverages, foods, chemical or pharmaceutical products. This new technology also produces deeper and truer blacks, uses more responsibly-sourced inks, and helps to prolong the life of the printhead2.

Ideal for the top growing food and beverage categories3

  • Refrigerated Entrees

  • Frozen Desserts

  • Refrigerated Juices

  • Frozen Meats And Seafood

Available in Afinia Label Printers

Watershield Technology is available in the L801 Plus and L901 Plus Colour Label Printers

  • Enhanced Water Resistance

    Watershield-printed labels are much better
    at resisting the effects of moisture than those
    printed using traditional inkjet.

  • More Neutral Black Chroma

    Blacks and grays are more neutral in colour, providing truer tones with less colour tinting.

  • Safer Chemical Compositions

    Watershield inks carry much less severe
    chemical warnings than traditional inkjet,
    UV, solvent, or liquid toner inks.
    These inks are free from phthalate esters, benzophenone, bisphenol-A (BPA), HAPs – Hazardous Air Pollutants, SVHCs, heavy metals, and aromatic amines.

1 Water resistance can be media-dependent. Always test your printed label to be sure it meets your requirements.
2 Memjet tested ejection life internally. K and C colours far exceeded 2X performance, while M and Y met 1.9X performance (average above 2X printhead life). Actual results will vary due to factors such as environment and frequency of use.
3 According to Smithers PIRA 2017 and The State of the Specialty Food Industry Report 2017.
