What Is the SAM★INK® CS250 Eco-solvent Ink?
The SAM★INK® CS250 is a newly developed eco-solvent ink engineered specifically for the Mimaki JV100-160 wide-format inkjet printer. Designed for professional print shops, sign makers, and large-format printers, the CS250 delivers a balance of image quality, productivity, and environmental responsibility that is hard to match in its class.
Available in a full CMYK set — Cyan (CS250-C-BA), Magenta (CS250-M-BA), Yellow (CS250-Y-BA), and Black (CS250-K-BA) — each supplied in a 1-litre bottle, the CS250 is built for high-volume, high-quality production environments.
Key Features of the CS250 Eco-solvent Ink
1. Superior Drying Performance
One of the most common pain points in wide-format printing is ink blocking — where freshly printed media sticks together before the ink has fully dried. The CS250 addresses this with an upgraded drying formula that evaporates quickly after printing, enabling smooth, uninterrupted production runs even at high speeds.
2. Fine Detail Reproduction
The CS250 reproduces intricate gradients and sharp details with precision, making it suitable for high-definition graphics, photographic prints, and demanding commercial signage.
3. Low Odour Formula
Unlike traditional solvent inks, the CS250’s eco-solvent formulation significantly reduces odour — creating a more comfortable working environment for print operators without the need for heavy ventilation systems.
4. GREENGUARD Certified
The CS250 has achieved GREENGUARD Certification, meaning it meets stringent global standards for chemical emissions. This makes it safe for use in sensitive environments such as schools, hospitals, and medical facilities — a key differentiator for print businesses serving regulated industries.
5. Eco-Cartridge Design
Each CS250 ink comes in a reusable 1L Eco-Cartridge bottle, reducing plastic waste without compromising on ink volume or performance. This aligns with growing sustainability expectations from both end customers and regulatory bodies.
