HAYWARD, CA APRIL 19, 2010 - TouchMark a division of Delphon Industries and industry leader in Medical Device Pad Printing, announced today the development of a printing process for medical applications using radiopaque inks. Radiopaque ink is ideal for printing visible tags used with X-Ray, MRI or other imaging equipment.

The medical industry uses radiopaque inks to mark devices that they want to track or locate during a medical procedure. The ink is easily seen on film or using a fluoroscope. TouchMark’s specialized process provides permanent ink adhesion on virtually any surface or substrate without flaking or chipping. TouchMark’s expertise includes printing on difficult surfaces such as FEP and Nitinol.
