Here's How KO Monochrome Printing with Protection Works
1. Black Resin Foundation
K panel uses dense black resin to create opaque, durable text and barcodes that resist fading and provide excellent contrast
2. Sharp Detail Rendering
Resin-based ink ensures crisp edges on text and fine details, making barcodes highly scannable and text clearly readable
3. Protective Overlay Application
Clear O panel applies transparent protective film over the entire printed area, sealing in the black elements
4. Durability Enhancement
Overlay creates a barrier against scratches, daily wear, and environmental factors that could damage printed elements
5. Long-lasting Results
Protected black printing maintains scannable quality and readability far longer than unprotected printing methods
