Special Features of High-Resolution Inkjet Systems

High-resolution inkjet systems are one of the many available package coding systems for the distribution packaging coding industry. However, this particular system, which works well with detailed codes like barcodes, has a set of special features that often set it apart from other types of machines. Here we’ve highlighted some of the many available features and functions found with high-resolution inkjet systems.

  • Technology Galore: High-resolution inkjet systems often feature unique controls that make the operator’s job that much easier, including features like a 17-inch touch-screen and a virtual keypad. Recent innovations include automated set-up wizards and pre-programmed print image templates that facilitate operation and ensure accurate coding.
  • Dot Resolution: These systems have a higher dot resolution, which supports much more detailed codes where quality and sharpness are a concern.
  • Versatility: The range of high-resolution inkjet systems offers everything from single to eight line, small character, and secondary packaging coding capability to more complex models that have piezoelectric coding, which can handle up to eight lines of information on cases.
  • Low Maintenance: With no moving parts, there is less wear and tear as the equipment is put through its paces, which means less maintenance and breakdown and, therefore, fewer costs and less downtime. Some models even have an auto priming system that provides for easier operation and less intervention.
  • No Mess: If a mess can be avoided, that means less labor is used or distracted from the task at hand, also resulting in lower downtime and higher productivity. With many of these models, there are sealed ink cartridges that are easy to install. The sealed part means no ink leaks out so there is no clean-up.
  • User Safety: With special housing construction, some models offer no-contact protection for the user, reducing the risk of injuries on the job and minimizing liability exposure.

You might think all these notable features come with an astronomical price tag, but there are single-head high-resolution inkjet systems that are just a few thousand dollars. If you want a multi-head system that includes controllers, web handling systems, and ink systems, be prepared to spend a lot more with prices running as high as the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whatever you choose relative to what is the best fit for your operation, rest assured that these systems will perform and offer you the flexibility and versatility you need today and as your business grows. In Review Here is a summary of the main ideas from this blog post:

  • High-resolution inkjet systems offer special features that facilitate coding for a distribution packaging business.
  • There are all types of technological gadgets that enhance operations and ensure accurate coding, including dot resolution for highly detailed coding jobs like those for barcodes.
  • They are low maintenance and no mess machines.
  • The system design helps to keep user safety as a priority.
  • The machines are versatile to help a business scale up as needed.
