Continuous Inkjet systems (CIJ) work by expelling electrically charged ink droplets from a printhead nozzle and passing them through an electric field.The inkjet is broken into drops inside the chamber through a pulse from the piezoelectric crystal. Droplets that are required for printing are charged by an electrode as they break off from the inkjet, and the printer re-circulates the rest.The droplets, now charged, pass through an electrostatic field between deflector plates, a combination of speed and charge determines the correct position of the droplet on the substrate.Up to 120,000 of these tiny droplets – half the diameter of a human hair – are expelled every second, and as this is done without contact to the material being printed on TYPES : Linx 8800 Series Linx 8840 Spectrum Linx 8900 Series

Laser marking is one of the most reliable, versatile and cost-efficient product marking methods available. The technology is perfect for high volumes of printing and creating easy traceability on food, drink and pharmaceutical products. A concentrated beam of light is deflected by mirrors through a lens to form characters by removing material or coating from the product or packaging. Accuracy is guaranteed, giving you 24/7 operation without the need for users to manually intervene.

Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO’s) use a high-resolution thermal printhead to produce crisp, clear barcodes and information directly onto flexible packaging, labels or foil products. The thermal printhead, thermally transfers ink on a ribbon (which is commonly threaded onto a cassette) onto various types of poly film (LLDPE, LDPE, BOPP). Unlike other inkjet technologies, TT overprinters are in direct contact with the substrate, allowing better quality text, graphics and barcodes. Most flexible packaging machines (Flow wrappers, vertical form fill and seal – VFFS, horizontal form fill and seal – HFFS, thermoformers, tray sealing, shrink / sleeve / stretch wrapping) that TTO’s are incorporated with, have either a continuous or intermittent operation. It’s important to determine the best print location in the context of the films motion path, as this can significantly impact print quality. When using the thermal transfer printing technology, you can print everything from simple date codes and batch codes to logos, product descriptions, ingredients lists, nutritional panels and fully compliant barcodes. If you need high-density barcodes and labels with longevity, a thermal transfer printer is an excellent option.
