WetDot is your reliable partner for innovative ink development, expert consulting, and specialized training in the water-based inkjet industry.
This is where your solution begins
Development and consultancy for your inkjet projects
Inkjet projects rarely fail because of the idea itself – but because of the details. And this usually happens at the point where progress cannot be made without professional support.
WetDot enables companies – from analog conversion to digital leaders – to succeed with high‑performance water-based inkjet technology through outstanding expertise and state-of-the-art laboratory capabilities. Take advantage of
- Develop your Custom Ink
- Consulting before, during, and after development
- Training and Workshops
Do you have any of these problems?
- Inks that are not optimally suited to the printhead used
- Insufficient drying or adhesion to the desired material
- Colours that do not meet the application’s requirements
- Challenges when switching from analogue printing to digital inkjet
- Delays caused by regulatory requirements and necessary documentation
- Lack of expertise regarding inkjet technology and printheads

About us
What drives us
Our mission:
Driving innovation and sustainability in digital printing through expertise in water-based inkjet.
Our team
Experienced chemists, engineers and regulatory experts.
Our laboratory
Modern laboratories with specialized testing equipment.
Our laboratory is designed to support the full development cycle of industrial inkjet solutions — from early-stage formulation to application testing under realistic production conditions.
Rather than focusing on isolated measurements, we combine analytical capabilities with hands-on printing experience. This allows us to understand not only material properties, but how they translate into real-world jetting behaviour, substrate interaction and long-term performance.
To ensure reliable and reproducible results, we utilise industry-standard instrumentation across all relevant areas of inkjet development.
Selected Equipment
Our lab is equipped with advanced analytical and application-focused systems, including:
- Particle size analysis (Malvern Nano-sizer)
- Surface and wetting characterisation (Krüss)
- Dropwatcher systems for jetting evaluation
- Industrial inkjet printheads (e.g. Kyocera, Epson)
- Colour measurement and profiling systems (X-Rite)
- Rheological and viscosity measurement systems
- UV-Vis spectroscopy
- pH and conductivity measurement
- Filtration and stability testing setups
Closing Line
This combination of analytical precision and practical inkjet experience enables us to develop solutions that are not only technically sound, but also robust and scalable in real production environments.
