Markem Imaje Printer

• Printing variable data such as batch codes, expiry dates, and serial numbers directly onto product packaging.
• Applying barcodes and QR codes to items for tracking and inventory management.
• Labelling food and beverage products with regulatory information and nutritional facts.
• Marking industrial components and parts with identification numbers and manufacturing details.
• Integrating into existing production lines for automated product marking.

Typical printing technology

Commonly Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), or Thermal Transfer Overprint (TTO), depending on the specific Markem Imaje model.

Print speed

Typically ranges from a few metres per minute for high-resolution graphics to several hundred metres per minute for basic coding.

Substrate compatibility

For this class of equipment, it commonly handles plastics, metals, glass, paperboard, and flexible packaging films.

Power supply

Typically single-phase 230V AC, 50Hz for the UK market, with varying power consumption depending on the model.

Connectivity

Commonly features Ethernet, USB, and serial ports for integration with production line systems and data management.

Ink/Ribbon type

Varies significantly by printing technology; CIJ units use specific inks and solvents, while TTO units use thermal transfer ribbons.

Operating environment

Typically designed for industrial environments, often with IP ratings suitable for dust and splash resistance, though this varies by model.
