Specifically engineered for aqueous coated paper, varnished stock, PVC cards, plastic, Tyvek, and chipboard, the Max 3 delivers sharp, dark, high-density black text on surfaces that defeat ordinary inks — without slowing your run or requiring a dryer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWe sell it in six-packs with free shipping to the continental U.S., because shops running difficult substrates buy ink in volume and shouldn't be guessing at freight charges on every order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003eWhy Production Shops Specify the Collins Max 3\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for surfaces that beat ordinary ink.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aqueous coated envelopes, varnished mailers, PVC membership cards, plastic stock, Tyvek — the Max 3 handles them all with a single cartridge.

The result is sharp text and clean, scannable barcodes even on the most challenging media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast dry time without a dryer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dries in one second unassisted on copy paper, coated stock, Kelstar AQ 587, and chipboard.
