Compatible Domino CIJ ink and make-up pairing guide
For compatible Domino CIJ ink, match the existing ink reference, make-up reference, printer model, and pack connection before ordering. A shared black colour or MEK solvent base does not prove interchangeability. Request the ink and matched make-up as one confirmed supply set, then agree whether the change needs a controlled flush.
This guide helps distributors and maintenance buyers specify replacements for older Domino A100, A200, and A300 installations. MufengTech lists IC-270BK, IR-236BK, and IC-299BK in its Domino-compatible consumables range. These are independent compatible products. Domino names and references identify the intended equipment, not an affiliation or endorsement.
Record both fluid codes before choosing a pack
Photograph the installed ink label and make-up label. Include every letter and suffix, the pack outlet, and the printer nameplate. Record the fluid already in the circuit, not just the unopened carton on the shelf. An older machine may have changed ink families during its service life.
Also record the substrate, required resistance, and any current viscosity or jet warnings. A replacement that jets correctly can still fail the customer's rub test. Conversely, a print defect caused by contamination is not evidence that a different ink family is needed.
Use this OEM-reference-to-compatible-pack shortlist
The references below are identification aids for an enquiry, not permission to mix fluids. Confirm the supplied formulation, connection, and matched make-up in writing before installation.
| Existing OEM reference | Compatible pack to discuss with MufengTech | Make-up reference to confirm | Buying checkpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| IC-270BK | IC-270BK black ink, listed in an 825 ml cartridge | MC-270BK | Confirm the cartridge fitting and current fluid family |
| IR-236BK | IR-236BK black ink, listed as a 1.2 L reservoir | MC-236BK for the confirmed 236 family | Confirm reservoir format and the installed make-up label |
| IC-236BK | Ask whether the corresponding cartridge format is available; the listed IR-236BK is a reservoir | MC-236BK | Do not substitute a reservoir for a cartridge by code similarity |
| IC-299BK | IC-299BK black ink, listed in an 825 ml cartridge | MC-299BK | Validate adhesion on the actual plastic and confirm the complete pair |
MufengTech's published fluid tables show IC-270BK with MC-270BK, IC-236BK with MC-236BK, and IC-299BK with MC-299BK. Dedicated Domino make-up product pages are not listed in the reviewed range. Treat make-up availability, packaging, and the proposed supply set as items requiring confirmation, not stocked-pack promises.
Keep cartridge and reservoir formats separate
The IR-236BK product page identifies a 1.2 L reservoir. The IC-270BK product page identifies an 825 ml cartridge. Capacity alone does not establish mechanical fit. Never decant fluid to bypass the intended connection or identification system.
For IC-299BK compatible black ink, confirm whether the offered pack matches the current cartridge installation. A reference ending in BK identifies black, not a universal chemistry or application approval.
Evaluate a Domino make-up solvent alternative as part of the pair
A Domino make-up solvent alternative must suit the specific circulating ink. Make-up restores the formulation's solvent balance as volatile components leave the circuit. It is not interchangeable with cleaning fluid, and a generic solvent from a workshop container is not a documented replacement.
Ask for the technical data sheet, safety data sheet, batch identification, storage instructions, and the exact ink-to-make-up pairing. Where the machine requires identification codes or other recognition, confirm that requirement too. An alternative supplier's internal code may differ from the OEM reference, so retain both on your purchase record.
Do not choose a fixed ink-to-make-up carton ratio from this article. Consumption depends on running conditions and the installation. Use the site's operating records when planning replenishment.
Decide when to flush before introducing a replacement
A supplier change does not automatically mean a flush is unnecessary or mandatory. Obtain the written transition procedure for the exact old and new formulations. If compatibility with residual fluid is unconfirmed, do not top up and experiment during production.
Request a technician-led drain and flush assessment when the ink family changes, the circuit contents are unknown, fluids were mixed by mistake, or contamination is suspected. Changing colour or moving between dye and pigment systems also needs a machine-specific review. A flush cannot make unsupported chemistry suitable for a printer.
Follow a controlled changeover sequence
Only trained personnel should open or service the fluid circuit. Follow the printer service instructions and the fluid safety data sheets, with ventilation, ignition control, and suitable protective equipment.
- Save the current fluid references, settings, alarms, and an acceptable print sample.
- Stop production and use the prescribed shutdown procedure. Isolate the machine as the service instructions require.
- Have the technician drain and collect the old fluid using the approved method.
- If specified, circulate the approved flushing fluid through the prescribed paths. Follow the service procedure's endpoint, not a guessed number of minutes.
- Replace service items only when the procedure calls for them. Charge the confirmed ink and make-up pair without residual incompatible cleaner.
- Restart, inspect the jet and alarms, and test marks before releasing production. Dispose of collected fluid through the site's approved waste route.
Never add wash fluid to a production tank as a shortcut for viscosity correction.
Release the supply set after a documented trial
Test the actual code on production material, at the required speed and under normal stop-start conditions. Check readability, handling resistance, and the customer's relevant cleaning exposure. Keep the test method and acceptance criteria with the batch record.
Send MufengTech the nameplate, both current fluid labels, pack photographs, and trial requirements at [email protected]. For machine sourcing, the Shenzhen Mufeng Technology catalogue provides broader equipment context. If a separate cartridge-based station is planned, review the TIJ range as a different system, not a fluid substitute for CIJ.
FAQ: Compatible Domino CIJ ink and make-up pairing guide
Can I use MC-270BK with every black Domino-compatible ink?
No. MC-270BK is a pairing reference for the confirmed 270 family. Black colour and a shared solvent base do not establish compatibility with 236 or 299 formulations.
Is IR-236BK the same physical pack as IC-236BK?
No. IR identifies a reservoir format in the reviewed listing. Confirm the cartridge or reservoir required by your machine before ordering.
Do I always need to flush when changing supplier?
Follow the written procedure for the exact old and new fluids. If residual-fluid compatibility is unknown, do not mix them. Ask a qualified technician to assess the changeover.
Can cleaning solvent replace make-up?
No. Use the make-up specified for the circulating ink. Cleaning and flushing fluids have different service roles and must not replace production make-up.
