Intuitive printer picked by packer

Linx Printing Technologies has supplied its Linx 7300 Continuous Ink Jet printer to contract packer MPF Group for the coding and marking of consumer items ranging from foods to wet wipes.

The Linx 7300 is said to offer low running costs, reduced production downtime, error-free coding and future-proof features.

MPF likes the unit's ability to change codes quickly between different products and customers "Templates can be saved to the system so that job selection can be achieved within seconds, and new details can be added via integral USB port for guaranteed accuracy," explains Ian Wright, director The coder's apertures for ink and solvent bottles are different shapes to prevent incorrect loading, and it is easily able to accommodate the average 20-25 packs per minute.Most of MPF's coding is three lines, so the company was happy that this comes as standard, with optional 4 and 5-line printing available should this become necessary.
