Norwix has a number of solvent based inks designed specifically to work with non porous materials – Plastics, Metals, coated surfaces and many, many more materials. Each one is designed to work with challenging applications.
A few of the Key Solvent inks are listed below. However for a full listing please download the Norwix Inks flyer under Documentation below:
TSD1010 Black
TSD1010 is the next generation of solvent based inks that prints on a very wide range of non-porous substrates It has excellent darkness and adheres on many difficult substrates. It has a great decap allowing it to be used in applications with intermittent production.
TSD1210 Black
TSD1210 is noticeably darker than other solvent inks, with better adhesion and shows a huge improvement when using the ink intermittently. It has shelf life of 12 months and is recommended for all Non-Porous substrates.
TSD1160 Black
This ink has a good decap and recovery, together with an extended shelf life of 12 months. It has solid adhesion, very similar to TSD1010, but with an slightly increased dry time.
SolventX Colors
SolventX Colors are pigment based (apart from Black which is dye based) and have very good adherence to many non-porous substrates. However, they do require additional maintenance and care and should always be fully tested on any application.
SOLVENT X White
SolventX White is a pigment based ink and have very good adherence to many non-porous substrates. However, it requires additional maintenance and should be stored when not in use with the nozzles pointing up.
TSD1390 Black
TSD1390 is equivalent to TSD1210, with a great adhesion and shows a huge improvement when using the ink intermittently. It has shelf life of 12 months and is recommended for all Non-Porous substrates.

Method A (Water Based Inks)
- Use dry lint free cloth moistened with deionized water
- Wipe slowly and lightly across the tip of the long edge with the print head facing down.
- Wipe until two dark lines appear on the cloth and any dry debris is removed off the face.
Method B (Solvent Based Inks)
- Use dry lint free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
- Wipe slowly and lightly across the tip of the long edge with the print head facing down.
- Wipe until two dark lines appear on the cloth and any dry debris is removed off the face
Method C (SolventX Colors)
- Prior to installing in a printer, gently shake the cartridge up and down for 30 seconds. The pen must be capped with the clip.
- Remove the cap and wipe excess ink off using a dry lint-free cloth with the print head facing down.
- Using Isopropyl Alcohol, wipe until two ink lines appear on the cloth and any dry debris is removed off the face.
- Wipe slowly and lightly across the tip of the long edge with the print head facing down.
