8/02/2012 - WorldPressOnline FirstCall - Linx Printing Technologies is
offering two easy-to-use case coders for sale through its global distributor
network for the first time*.
Only available in the UK until now, the
Linx TJ125 and TJ225 incorporate thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology and offer
users reliability, minimal maintenance and a low cost of ownership thanks to
the integrated printhead and ink cartridge system.
Designed for coding onto porous
or uncoated surfaces such as cardboard, the Linx TJ125 and TJ225 are
particularly suitable for secondary packaging such as outer cases, cartons or
trays.
Jason Remnant, Linx Product
Manager, explains: “The Linx TJ125 and TJ225 printers offer stress-free
reliability with no hidden costs of ownership.
“Now the Linx TJ125 and TJ225
are being made available through our global distributor network, we’re
confident that even more customers will want to discover the benefits these two
coders have to offer.
“They’ll also have the peace
of mind of knowing that Linx and our global network of distributors are totally
committed to providing excellent service and first class technical assistance
that customers can depend on.”
The Linx TJ125 and TJ225 offer
users of analogue roller coders a low cost of ownership, digital solution with
rapid message changeover capability. With the Linx TIJ range, users of low
resolution drop-on-demand case coders can achieve a cleaner and higher quality
print solution.
The printer system consists of
a handheld controller for programming and set-up, connected to a small
printhead assembly, into which the TIJ ink cartridge is inserted. Installation
on the production line is so simple that customers can do it themselves; the
only equipment required is a drill.
The disposable, single use
cartridge with integral printhead, is key to the coders’ efficiency, as there
is no risk of expensive printhead repairs or replacement. Installing a new cartridge is a clear, simple
process that takes seconds.
Intelligence built into the
cartridge ensures the printer is always set up correctly for the ink type and
monitors the amount of ink that has been used, so a warning is displayed when
ink is running low.
The Linx TJ125 model offers
simple one or two-line coding, which can be enhanced with incremental software
packs to create a fully featured coder with options including expiry date
offset calculations.
In addition, the Linx TJ225
offers up to four line printing and barcode printing as standard. A further software option for the TJ225 adds
datamatrix (2D barcode) printing.
Both models can print up to
12.5mm high at 300 dpi, for clean and crisp codes to a maximum print speed of
61m/min.
