Cutting the cost of coding

Linx Printing Technologies has launched a new thermal inkjet (TIJ) printer that, it says, ensures the first print is as good as the last.

The Linx TJ725 has Simply Smart Technology to offer a high resolution, digital solution for coding onto outer cases, boxes, shelf ready trays and packaging.

Supplied in just a few pieces, the printer is simple to fit without needing a service engineer or specialist installation tools. No training is needed.

Linx's new Active Cartridge Care System is said to save money and cut waste by slowing the nozzle drying process, making first prints more reliable. Nozzles are covered and protected when not in use and uncovered automatically when the first product is sensed.

The unit can sense how much ink is left and forecast the number of prints remaining.

The replaceable ink cartridge with integral printhead is said to be key to efficiency; there is no risk of printhead repairs or replacement.
