Large Character Ink Jet Coder
A large character inkjet coder is defined a capable of
printing a single line from 12 mm (or smaller) height to
nearly 4 inches high on a single printhead (nearly 8" when
doubled up). Beyond that there are two categories of large
character inkjet printing: high resolution and low resolution.
High Resolution Large Character Ink Jet Coders
With
the improvement in inks and inkjet technology it is now
possible to print on corrugated and other porous and
semi-porous surfaces with 300 dpi resolution in wide swaths
of up to 4" high on a single printhead, and up to 8" with dual
printheads. A great way to eliminate more
expensive
print and apply labeling systems with their higher initial
and operating costs. Print text, graphics, and barcodes (even
2 D codes) with perfect readability! No wonder at 192 dpi
vertical and 300 dpi horizontal resolution!
As inkjet printing continues to improve more and more
manufacturers are moving away from the relatively high cost of
operating print and apply labeling systems to the more
environmentally friendly high-resolution inkjet coders. Consider
that the cost of the label is much higher than the cost of the
ink to print the same information directly on the carton.
Add to that the cost of thermal transfer ribbons and the fact
that ribbons and backing paper for the labels must be disposed
of, and high-resolution inkjet coders only become much more attractive
both financially and environmentally. Busch Machinery
offers many versions of print and apply, but we urge all
customers to at least consider inkjet coding as an
alternative.
Z-640 High Resolution Ink Jet Coder for
Porous and Semi-Porous Surfaces
Z640 is an ultra high resolution
ink jet printing system which can drive simultaneously
up to two printheads in order to customize secondary
packaging for the same or different production lines.
It is suitable for several applications where the
products substrates are absorbent-porous such as
cardboard cartons, wooden products, outer case coding,
paper bags, cloth and so on.
There are two kinds of printheads: T768 printhead
which can print up to 102 mm high (4”), from 1 to 32
lines text and T384 printhead which can print up to 51
mm high (2”), from 1 to 16 lines text (192 x 300 dpi).-
This innovative inkjet printer features an
unrivaled 12,1” touch screen panel with SVGA TFT-LCD
800x600 colour display. Z640 system
can print real-time high quality logos and other
graphics on secondary packaging, in addition to major
barcodes and standard variable data (including
day/date, batch, etc..) with high contrast patented
inks (solvent free).
This new controller is equipped with an enhanced
Graphic Interface Software and an advanced hydraulic
system wihich doesn’t need factory air.
Drives simultaneously up to 2 printheads either
102mm (4”) type (T768) or 50mm
(2”) type (T384)
