The Afinia L502 Black Pigment Ink Cartridge (Manufacturer: Afinia Label, MPN: 30685) delivers deep, dense black with industry-leading water, chemical, UV, and abrasion resistance on compatible media. Ideal for industrial, compliance, and outdoor labeling, this OEM pigment cartridge produces crisp text, scannable barcodes, and durable graphics that stand up to harsh environments.
About the Afinia L502 Color Label Printer
The flexible Afinia L502 platform supports two ink technologies via swappable heads: pigment inks for maximum durability (GHS/BS5609 workflows), and dye inks for the most vivid, photo-quality color. Choose pigment when labels face moisture, solvents, sunlight, or heavy handling; swap to dye when premium shelf appeal is the priority—all on the same printer with the correct printhead and ink set.
