Automation Coding & Labeling Dover Corporation Markem-ImajeNew machine provides high-resolution solution for case coding.
Markem-Imaje has announced the introduction of the 1200 integrated thermal inkjet printer, adding a new case coding solution to Markem-Imaje’s array of high-performance coders.
Designed for rapid coding of secondary packages, the new 1200 produces high-resolution text, logos and high-density graphics on fast-moving production lines in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other industries. With a stainless steel casing and industrial-grade printheads, the new 1200 thermal inkjet printer is designed to excel in a variety of industrial settings, including those with dusty, humid or corrosive conditions.
Printhead options allow customers to print up to 203-mm (eight inches) high, with total control of variable horizontal DPI from one to 600, in one-dot increments. This level of control helps customers improve print quality, minimize their ink usage and print with precision. The 1200 produces codes that are GS1 compliant at any speed, up to a maximum line speed of 201 meters per minute.
The printer is controllable from an easy-to-use, seven-inch touch screen with an intuitive WYSIWYG interface for simple set-up and continued operation. In addition, the 1200’s portable design means it can be set up quickly to accommodate production line changes.
The 1200’s case coding performance comes in part from its suitability for bulk ink delivery. Its bulk ink capacity is larger than any other case coding printer, at up to 2.7-liters. The 1200 also features a patented side jetting system with air regulation that works to decrease printhead starvation and flooding that can occur with bulk ink. The result is maximum performance with minimal downtime to boost total cost of ownership.
The 1200 thermal inkjet printer is fully compatible with Markem-Imaje’s powerful CoLOS coding software as an option for network control of all Markem-Imaje printers.
