On the 7th, the Technology Research Institute of the Mint announced this at the joint research and development performance meeting held at Jogwang Paint's Research and Development (R&D) Center in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do.

As a result of joint research and development that began in April, Korea Minting and Jogwang Paint recently developed special inks for security printing that enhance the durability and stain resistance of printed products.

Until now, all special inks applied to security printed products were imported from overseas. However, with the ability to produce special inks domestically, import substitution effects can be expected in the future.

The developed special inks will be first applied to the Mint's security printed products and will gradually expand their usage.

In particular, the Mint currently fills about 10% of its annual sales through exports, and plans to explore exports based on the success of domestic production of special inks.

In fact, the Mint explained that the development of special ink technology was carried out with overseas expansion in mind.

Jung Yang-jin, head of the Mint's Technology Research Institute, said, “Through continuous cooperation with Jogwang Paint, we will develop various special inks to maximize mutual benefits and strive to create a successful case of win-win cooperation and co-growth.”
