The latest addition to the high-resolution printing solutions for direct case coding from Markem-Imaje features the latest in liquid piezo inkjet technology. This delivers high quality graphics, text and readable barcodes with remarkably low operating costs, the France-based company says.
The 5600 large character liquid inkjet printer uses quick drying glycol-ether ink, which is suitable for porous corrugated cases and trays. It can print on a range of substrates in environmental conditions from 0 to 40ºC at speeds up to 182m/min.
For maximum operational efficiency, the 5600 supports an ink management system consisting of a large capacity, self-contained cartridge, designed to recover purged ink and to be easily replaced during production. Printhead maintenance can also be programmed to occur at the users" convenience, reducing downtime.
The printer works either as a stand-alone unit, or can be integrated into the product ID process using CoLOS Enterprise networking software.
