Clean running printer passes bottle trial

Personal care company Potter & Moore Innovations, is buying two Linx CJ400 continuous ink jet printers after trialling them to print codes onto different sized plastic bottles containing shampoo, foam bath and talcum powder, using Linx T551 Black high speed ink.

The printhead prints upwards onto the base of the PP/PE bottles and codes a single line batch code, with lines running for up to 80h/week.

The Linx CJ400 has shown it can maintain reliable, clean running even within dusty talcum powder lines.

The Linx CJ400's 13.5kg weight makes it easy to move between lines and it can store messages for up to four lines.

The printer offers threemonth intervals between printhead cleaning. Its Easi- Change Service Module can be changed in minutes using on-screen prompts. Scheduled maintenance is achieved without the need for a trained technician or service calls.

On-screen trouble shooting can solve the majority of operating issues without the need to consult manuals.
