Innovation through Research – Precision for Perfect Results

At BOWA, quality is no coincidence; it is the result of consistent research, precise manufacturing, and certified processes. Our thermal inkjet inks are developed, tested, and manufactured in Germany under the strictest conditions. For the highest print quality, stability, and safety.

Quality Made in Germany

Controlled Precision at Every Production Stage

Our inks are manufactured in Germany according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and are subject to 10% random sample testing.
Every batch is tested for viscosity, conductivity, drop size, and print image quality – directly in our in-house laboratory.

Research Derived Directly from Practice

Innovation through In-House Laboratory Work

In our modern development laboratory, we research new formulations and materials for innovative inkjet inks every day. Our team of chemists and application engineers optimizes every ink to perfection, focusing on performance, adhesion, and readability.

Our research work focuses on:

  • ZDevelopment of new pigment and dye systems
  • ZOptimization of adhesion and drying on demanding substrates
  • ZImprovement of barcode & 2D code readability (A-grading)
  • ZCompatibility with HP 45 & TIJ systems
  • ZUse of sustainable, pollutant-free components

Every innovation stems from experience – developed and tested in our own laboratory.
