Romana| Drop on demand C-Series, CaseCoder and Macrojet printing Domino's large character C-Series, Macrojet and CaseCoder ink jet printers have been developed to offer a range of coding and marking capabilities that are specific to the end users' requirements. Piezo and Valve-jet technologies are used to print onto a variety of porous and non-porous materials. These include: • Corrugated outer cases • Sacks • Rubber • Metal • PVC Valve-Jet printing - CaseCoder and Macrojet In valve-jet technology (including Macrojet and CaseCoder printers), a series of inline jets are controlled by valves. These open and shut independently to produce streams of intermittent ink droplets. As the product passes the print head, these droplets create characters and graphics based on a grid formation. Domino's range of large character valve-jet printers use a variety of inks to print text and variable data onto porous and nonporous materials. For example: • The Macrojet and CaseCoder valve-jet printers apply both solvent and water-based inks. As well as printing on to porous substrates, nonporous materials such as rubber, metal, PVC and more can also be printed on. Key Benefits Valve-Jet printing has many benefits, depending on your requirements. C-Series, Macrojet and CaseCoder printers offer: • Cost effective print of simple date, time and text • Easy operation and maintenance • Self-pressured print head, which ensures ink delivery Piezo printing Piezo technology is used to print onto a wide range of porous materials. It can print high-resloution text and graphics such as barcodes and logos. How Piezo Works Domino's C-Series printers apply Piezo shared-wall technology to print on porous substrates. The print head of the C-Series contains a series of chambers that are filled with ink. By applying voltages to the walls of these chambers, a distortion is caused that bows the walls outwards. This distortion causes the ink pressure to drop, drawing more ink into the chamber. When the voltage is released and the walls return to their original positions, an ink droplet is expelled through each selected print nozzle. Collectively these droplets create high-resolution text, bar codes, graphics and variable data on to a variety of porous materials including corrugated outer cases, sacks and wood. • Domino's C-Series standard print printers apply water-based inks technology to print multi-line characters and onto porous materials, mainly corrugated outer cases and trays. Key Benefits The benefits of Piezo printing as opposed to other methods include: • Cost-effectiveness when compared to using labels, providing significant savings (typically ranging from 30% to 80%) • Increased printing flexibility, enabling ad-hoc printing runs and personalisation of packaging • The ability to print onto blank cases. This minimises variants in inventory and simplifies stock planning • Superior print quality and high speed, which is achieved through 500 nozzles printing up to 300 dpi • Capable of printing UCC/EAN-128 and ITF-14 compliant barcodes • Non-contact printing ensures package protection C-Series, Macrojet and CaseCoder printing methods are designed to meet all your needs. They allow printing on a variety of materials, using water and solvent based inks. |
