printer to print code dates, pricing, variable information and scannable bar codes directly onto package substrates such as film, foil, paper, labels and cartons.
The EasyPrint i offers a floating suspension on its printhead to maximize
substrate contact, and directly replaces conventional hot stamp and hot
ink coders on all vertical form/fill/seal, cartoners and any intermittent
motion packaging machines. EasyPrint i will provide savings by eliminating
the high cost of preprinted webs and labels.
EasyPrint i offers high-quality printing of text and bar codes
using thermal transfer technology with a print area of up to 5" (127
mm) x 4.173" (106
mm). Now it is also faster than ever at 1000mm per second. Maximum production
time is attained with our cassette loaded ribbon changer which accepts
large 400 meter rolls of transfer foil.
In addition to our unique foil-saving
feature that electronically adjusts the foil index length to maximize the
number of prints per roll, we have two new methods of saving ribbon: The
retraction method and the fading method. Controls are mounted in a remote
control box thereby reducing the size of the printer making for easy installation
on all intermittent motion packaging machines. The EasyPrint i also
employs a power interruption safety lock so when the ribbons cassette
is removed no operation of internal components can take place.
